22. One Person is Going in a Particular City on Friday..spend Tw

One person is going in a particular city on friday..spend two days there and when he was returning from the journey from that country the day was friday.. how it is possible ?

Solution:

The person is traveling to a location where the time zone is different, specifically to a place where crossing the International Date Line causes the day to change. He leaves on Friday, spends two days there (Saturday and Sunday), and returns on a Friday because he travels back across the Date Line, effectively making it Friday again.

The name of a specific horse (Friday) is a proper noun. If the intended answer to the riddle is that the horses name is Friday, then Friday should've been capitalized. This is especially important in puzzles like these that depend on the exact wording of the puzzle.

friday is a horse. this is an old logic problem. it was probably mistyped.

It is said that he was "going in' on a friday. it didn't say that he reached there on friday. he could have reached there on tuesday.
