nine days before the day after two days following the day after tomorrow?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


                    Solve the problem backward.


Two days after nine days before the day after two days following the day after tomorrow was September 30.

Hence,         nine days before the day after two days following the day after tomorrow was two days before Sept.30, i.e. Sept.28.

Hence,                          the day after two days following the day after tomorrow was nine days after Sept.28, i.e. Oct.7.

Hence,                                        two days following the day after tomorrow was the day before Oct.7, i.e. Oct.6.

Hence,                                                           the day after tomorrow was two days before Oct.6, i.e. Oct.4.

Hence,                                                                         tomorrow was the day before Oct.4, i.e. Oct.3.

Hence,                                                                                      today is the day before Oct. 3, i.e. Oct. 2.
