Riddles are an age – old way to test our smarts and challenge what we assume. There’s this one brainteaser that’s stumped a lot of people:
Question:
A woman had two sons born within the same hour, day, and year, but they were not twins. How can this be?
If you’re confused, don’t worry—lots of people are. Let’s get into the answer and see why this riddle is so tricky.
The two sons in this riddle were part of a set of triplets. They were born at the same time, but because there’s a third child, they’re not twins. This catches people off – guard since we usually just focus on the two sons mentioned.
