Something very popular online is solving riddles, a type of puzzle where you must find an answer to a particular question.
Riddles are most often a good way to pass the time with family and friends; everyone loves to exercise their competitive instinct and learn something new in the meantime.
Riddles are often tricky, and it is important to try to think a little outside the box to figure them out. The next one is no exception.
How can that be?
Only a true genius can solve this tricky riddle
Here is today’s challenge, pictured below.
Jenny had her first kid when she was 18, and every 2 years she had 1 kid. Now she is 33.
How many kids does she have now?
Can you find the correct answer?
However, it can be a little tricky, so if you have to think for a while, it’s no surprise.
I had to think for almost a minute before I came up with the solution.
And as often happens with riddles, it’s easier than it seems.
The answer will be below the next picture.
A
B
C
Here is the answer
The trick is in the wording.
It says:
“Every 2 years, she had 1 kid.”
That can be interpreted as she kept having the same one kid every 2 years in the statement, not “another kid.”
So the intended trick answer is:
She has 1 kid.
