Let’s solve this riddle step by step.

---

Riddle:
> What day would yesterday be if Thursday was four days before the day after tomorrow?

---

Step 1: Understand the key phrase — “the day after tomorrow”

Let’s denote today as Day 0.

- Tomorrow = Day 1
- The day after tomorrow = Day 2

So, “Thursday was four days before the day after tomorrow” means:

> Thursday = (Day 2) - 4 days = Day -2

That is, Thursday was two days ago.

---

Step 2: If Thursday was two days ago, what day is today?

If Thursday = two days ago (Day -2), then:

- Day -1 = Friday
- Today (Day 0) = Saturday

---

Step 3: The question asks — What day would yesterday be?

Yesterday = Day -1 = Friday

---

✔ Final Answer: Friday

---

Let’s double-check:

- Today = Saturday
- Yesterday = Friday
- Tomorrow = Sunday
- Day after tomorrow = Monday
- Four days before Monday = Thursday → ✔️ matches the condition.

Perfect!

Answer: 🟩 Friday
