Riddle That Will Make You Scratch Your Head

🤯 Riddle That Will Make You Scratch Your Head!

Sometimes, riddles are more than just wordplay—they’re a full-on brain workout. And this one? Well, let’s just say it’s trickier than it looks.

Let’s dive in:

“Penny has 5 children:
The 1st is named January.
The 2nd is named February.
The 3rd is named March.
The 4th is named April.
What is the name of the 5th?”

At first glance, your brain probably jumped to an obvious answer.

💡 “Aha! The months are in order… the fifth one must be May!”
Or maybe you noticed something else and thought:
💡 “Wait! The riddle says Penny has 5 kids. Could the last one be named Penny too?”

But here’s where it gets sneaky…

Let’s look again—carefully. Read that last line:

👉 “What is the name of the 5th.”

Notice anything unusual?

That’s right—there’s no question mark. It’s not asking you a question. It’s making a statement.

So what’s the actual name of the fifth child?

🥁 It’s “What.”
Yes, “What” is the name of the fifth child!

It wasn’t asking what is the name—it was literally telling you:

“What is the name of the 5th.”
It’s not a question. It’s the answer, hidden in plain sight!

If you missed it, don’t worry—you’re definitely not alone. Riddles like these are designed to trip you up and challenge your assumptions.

So next time you see a simple puzzle, read it twice before you jump to an answer. You might just be tricked by the punctuation—or lack of it.
