Challenge your intelligence with this riddle that only 3% of participants answered correctly

If you want to measure your intelligence, you should try to answer this question about family relationships. Launched by “Playbuzz”, it was a great success. The riddle, which only 3% of participants answered correctly, went viral within hours.

Before you answer, you must think that you are a woman. The question is: “If Teresa’s daughter is my daughter’s mother, what am I to Teresa?”

You have a total of six answer options:

  • His grandmother
  • His mother
  • Her daughter
  • His granddaughter
  • I am Teresa
  • I am not sure

To be able to answer, you need to think about the person asking the question. This suggestion only concerns the 3% of people who answered correctly the first time. You understood ?

Let’s see if you understand…

The correct answer is 3, meaning your daughter. If you chose 5, don’t worry, that’s what the majority (35%) found on the aforementioned portal, followed by “his grandmother” (19%).

To understand the solution, we must come to the conclusion that it is we who are asking the question: “my mother’s daughter is me”. Later we will come to the conclusion that since Teresa’s daughter is me, and I am the one asking the question, then I am her daughter.
