363 days. When daylight savings time starts, that day would consist of 23 hours of time, because the clock advances an hour and when the daylight savings time ends, that day would consist of 25 hours of time, because the clock goes back to the standard time. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are:

A. My Birthday.

B. The day when I am making this statement.

If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year's end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January.

I will further explain using the following example:

1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017.

2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then.

3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26.

4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017).

5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018).

Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:

The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO

Thursday.

The key is to realize that now must be Friday. In the phrase Two days from now will be Sunday, you can see that now must be Friday, since two days from Friday is Sunday.

Now look at the phrase the day before yesterday. Yesterday is Thursday since now (today) is Friday. The day before yesterday is Wednesday, and the day that follows the day before yesterday is Thursday. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO
