Riddle For Genius – When Does The Thief Tell The Truth?

There’s a short warm-up puzzle followed by the main puzzle. Thanks to Greg in Hungary (warm-up) and Jorn in Holland for suggesting these problems!

*In my original video, I solved for day 3 with AND but mistakenly wrote “OR”. Interestingly the OR is much easier to solve, and the answer works out to the same day. But I prepared this corrected video to be as accurate as possible.
