Alice came across a lion and a unicorn in the Forest of
Forgetfulness. The lion lies every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and the
other days he speaks the truth. The unicorn, on the other hand, lies of
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, on the other days of the week he speaks the
truth.
Lion: Yesterday, I was lying.
Unicorn: So was I
Which day of the week did this conversation take place?
Give up?

As
there is no day when both would be lying, at least one of them must have spoken
the truth.
They
both speak the truth only on Sunday. However, the Lion would then be lying in
his statement, so it couldn’t have been said on Sunday, since obviously one of
them was lying.
Blah,
blah, blah, a whole bunch of other stuff, ad nauseum, so the answer is:
The
Lion and the Unicorn said their statements on Thursday (talking about
Wednesday).
