Thinking about the treasure, the gringo forgot what day it was, so he asked four aborigines and got these answers:
A: Yesterday was Wednesday.
B: Tomorrow will be Sunday.
C: Today is Friday.
D: The day before yesterday was Thursday.
Because everything you need to know is how many people lied, I will not tell. What day of the week was it?

A party host says to two strangers Abby and Barry, “Each of you knows which day of the week you were born on, but not the day of the week the other was born on. But I can tell you that Barry was not born on Monday, and you were born one day apart (on consecutive days).”

He then asks Abby and Barry alternately if either can deduce the day of the week the other person was born on.

Abby: “No.”
Barry: “No.”
Abby: “No.”
Barry: “No.”
Abby: “No.”
Barry: “Yes!”

What day of the week was Abby born on? Can you deduce the day of the week for Barry?
