Monday Mind Game

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?

Drag your cursor between the asterisks for the answer

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).
