    The Day Before Yesterday I Was 25 Riddle

    The day before yesterday I was 25 and the next year I will be 28. This is true only one day in a year. What day is my birthday?
    The day before yesterday I was 25 and the next year I will be 28. This is true only one day in a year. What day is my birthday?
    Hint:
    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.

    The man was more than halfway across a bridge when he spotted the police car, so the quickest way to leave the bridge was to run towards the police car and then turn and run into the woods to hide.
