What are my chances of solving this riddle?

<p>This is COMPLETELY off topic, apologies, but I post here very often, and I never post anything off topic, but I was just wondering if someone can help me with this riddle, or at least guide me somewhere that can help me.</p>

<p>A king tells a man that he will be sentenced to death within the next 7 days, but gives him an oppurtunity to get out of it. The king tells him that if he can guess which day of the week 24 hours in advance, then he will be freed. The man comes back to the King, whispers something in his ear, and he is released free. How did he do it?</p>

<p>He whispered the right date</p>

<p>^well that would be the obvious answer</p>

<p>something to do with timing?</p>

<p>It's the next day. 24 hrs in advance, get it?</p>

<p>he could just whisper in his ear every day...</p>
