Alice is walking throught the forest of forgetfulness. She wants to know what day of the week it is. She stops and asks a lion and a unicorn. Now the lion lies all of the time on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The unicorn always lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Alice asks the lion what day it is, he says, "Well yesterday was one of my lying days." Then she asks the unicorn and he says, "Yesterday was also one of my lying days."
What day is it?

lying means just that, being dishonest...

Ans: Thursday
The lion can make the statement 'yesterday was one of my lying days' on Thurs or Mon. On Thurs he has to tell the truth and Wed is one of his lying days. On Mon he has to lie and Sun is one of his truth telling days. Similar logic shows that the unicorn can make this statement on either Thurs or Sun. The only day they can both make the statement and remain consistent to their rules for telling the truth and lying is Thursday.

the day is thursday, the lion tells the truth, and because its thursday the unicorn is lying, since neither can lie on a sunday, and if the unicorn was telling the truth it would be sunday and the lion couldn't lie.

It was Thursday because the unicorn is lying when he said yesterday was one of his lying days and it wasn't today is. But the lion isn't lying but he was yesterday.

Well, yesterday couldn't have been both their lying days. So either the lion is lying, or the Unicorn.
It could be any day of the week. Except Sunday.
