Riddles have become a popular pastime online, offering a fun way to challenge our minds and pass the time with friends and family. They’re a great way to engage in some friendly competition, all while learning something new.
While some riddles may seem straightforward, others can be tricky. The key is to think outside the box and approach the question from different angles. Today’s challenge is no exception.
Here’s the riddle:
7 years ago, Mom was 23 years old. How old will she be in 7 years?
It may seem like a simple question, but don’t be fooled—it requires some careful thought.
If you need a minute to figure it out, don’t worry! I had to pause for almost a minute myself before I came up with the solution.
And, as is often the case with riddles, the answer is simpler than it first appears.
Take a look at the breakdown:
- Seven years ago, Mom was 23.
- That means Mom is currently 23 + 7 = 30 years old.
- In 7 years, she’ll be 30 + 7 = 37 years old.
Answer: Mom will be 37 years old in 7 years.
If you figured this out without too much trouble, congratulations! You’ve got the hang of these tricky puzzles. Keep up the great work!
