Samuel said, "I wish yesterday was tomorrow so that today would be Friday." What day did Samuel say this on?

Sunday

Why this works

This riddle involves a playful manipulation of time and days of the week. If Samuel wishes that "yesterday was tomorrow," it means he is currently in a day where that statement makes sense. Let's break it down: if today is Sunday, then yesterday (Saturday) would indeed be tomorrow (Monday) if it were the next day. Therefore, if today is Sunday, wishing for it to be Friday means he’s looking forward to the end of the week. So, the only day that fits all these conditions is Sunday!
