Can you find out the woman\u2019s name? We assure you that there is not a single lie in the riddle. It\u2019s as straightforward as can be! If you are still struggling, here\u2019s a hint. Try to break the riddle into smaller parts, and read every part with as much attention as possible. Also, do not overthink. The name of the woman, however, is not one you will hear out in the streets, so be aware!\n
Ready for the answer? It is\u00a0\u201cThere\u201d.\u00a0\u201cThere is the woman\u2019s name\u201d.\n

This riddle is a perfect example of a good one that is also short. It misdirects the reader towards places that are farther away from the real solution. Of course, \u201cThere\u201d is hardly a name you will ever actually hear. However, technically and grammatically, it is not wrong! That\u2019s what makes it a bit silly but super fun. Here are two more riddles that can get your head pumping.\n

The riddle goes:\u00a0Mr. Smith had four daughters. Each of his daughters had a brother. How many children does Mr. Smith have?\n
At first glance, it might seem like there is no way there is enough information to give an exact number. But rest assured, it is very simple. This riddle is a more mathematical one, but it still tests your reading skills like the previous one. Here\u2019s a hint: pay attention to the number depicted by the nouns!\n
Ready for the answer? The answer is \u201c5\u201d. Mr. Smith has 5 children.\n
Most people conclude that there are 8 children since the statement says there is a brother for each daughter. However, even if there is one brother, each daughter will have a brother because they are siblings! Also, if there were multiple brothers, the statement would have to say, each daughter has brothers.\n
London Bridge\n

The riddle goes:\u00a0I met a man on London Bridge. He tipped his hat and drew his name. He cheated at the guessing game. What was the man\u2019s name?\n
This one is the most complicated one of them all. You will have to use your pronunciation skills to the test to figure out the solution for this one. The answer is not\u00a0\u201cman\u201d\u00a0as was the case for the first one. There is a proper name here! The hint is to look for words or phrases that can sound like a direct and complete answer to the question.\n
Ready for the answer? The answer is\u00a0\u201cAndrew\u201d.\n
If you follow the hint, you will realize why this is the answer very quickly. If you join together the phrase \u201cand drew his name\u201d\u00a0in the second sentence, it can also sound like\u00a0\u201cAndrew\u2019s his name\u201d. This is a direct answer to the question at the end!\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
