Teresa Riddle Solution :
1st, we need to break up the statement
“If Teresa’s daughter is my daughter’s mother” into
2 parts.
From a First person perspective, “my daughter’s mother” also
refers to “myself”. (E.g. I am a mother and I say “my daughter’s
mother” which is essentially a long and confusing way of referring
to me)
Hence, when we combine the 2 parts together, the statement becomes,
“If Teresa’s daughter is me (myself), then what is my relationship to Teresa ?”
and the answer would be c) her daughter !
Another possible answer which is not part of the 5 choices can be approached
from a Second person perspective, “my daughter’s mother” which refers
to “my wife”. (E.g. I am the father and I say “my daughter’s mother”
which is the same as “my wife”.
Hence, when we combine the 2 parts together, the statement becomes,
“If Teresa’s daughter is my wife, then what is my relationship to Teresa ?”
and the answer would be son-in-law !
Did you manage to get both the answers correctly ?
Let’s untwist our mind and logically think through which of the 6 statements is false.
This is a simple ice-cream sticks math question suitable for kids.

Question on my daughters mother doesn’t have a single answer.
Again split it in two.
My daughters mother could mean me, or my wife.
Theresa’s daughter is my daughters mother, Theresa is the mother to my wife – and as such she is my mother in law.
