Answer:

On Friday, Stan said "Yesterday, I lied" which is true based on the fact that he lied about saying the truth yesterday while, Fren said "Yesterday, I lied" which is true because he's saying the truth about what happened on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Stan's Pattern
    Lies on: Friday, Saturday, Sunday
    Tells the truth on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
  • Fred's Pattern
    Lies on: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
    Tells the truth on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday

Let's validate each scenario

Monday

Stan (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Sunday (he lied)

Fred (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Sunday (he told the truth)

Fred contradicts himself

Tuesday

Stan (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Monday (he told the truth)

Fred (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Monday (he told the truth)

Fred contradicts himself

Wednesday

Stan (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Tuesday (he told the truth)

Fred (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Tuesday (he lied)

Stan contradicts himself

Thursday

Stan (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Wednesday (he told the truth)

Fred (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Wednesday (he lied)

Stan contradicts himself

Friday

Stan (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Thursday (he told the truth)

Fred (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Thursday (he lied)

Valid - both statements are consistent

Saturday

Stan (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Friday (he lied)

Fred (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Friday (he told the truth)

Fred contradicts himself

Sunday

Stan (lie) ➜ Yesterday was Saturday (he lied)

Fred (truth) ➜ Yesterday was Saturday (he told the truth)

Fred contradicts himself

The only valid day where both Stan and Fred can say, "Yesterday I lied," and their statements are consistent is Friday.
