Riddle: Who is The Real Mother of This Child?


If you are looking for a useful and entertaining method to spend some time, then this riddle is the best bet. In fact, we are bringing you a bonus riddle as well. Recently, the internet has put on its collective thinking cap to figure out a very intriguing riddle. The riddle stems from a simple picture containing three figures. However, since it is based on individual perceptions, the internet struggles to reach a common consensus on the answer. Maybe you can do better?

The Riddle Of The Mother

The main riddle for today is titled “The Mother.” Take a look at the image of the puzzle:

The answer to the riddle: the woman on the left is the child’s mother. 

There are multiple clues in the picture that will lead you to this answer and most have to do with the demeanor of the women. First, the woman on the left does not have her legs crossed like the woman on the right. The woman on the left is also leaning forward. Both of these signs indicate the protective, maternal instinct of a mother.

Compared to the woman on the right, the woman on the left’s hands are more visible in the image, signifying that she is ready to intervene if her child needs it. The child is facing the woman on the left while he is playing — children facing their mother while they play can be a normal activity for many.

Lastly, both the mother and child have dark hair, which is in contrast to the woman on the right who has blond hair.

Bonus Puzzle – The Bedroom

How many of the clues did you find for the first riddle? Let us know what answer you arrived at! If you are still craving for more, here is another riddle. This one is called “The Bedroom”. This is how it goes: You enter a bedroom. There are 34 people. You kill 30. How many are in the bedroom?

It is quite a brutal riddle; however, the answer is a test of your analytical skills once again. It is actually simple. However, there is a bit of a twist to it. Moreover, there are two answers, depending on how analytical you choose to be. Scroll down to see the answers.

Here are the answers:

Answer 1: 35. The question asks for the number of “people” only. It does not specify whether the people are alive or dead. So there were already 34 people inside. Including you, there should be 35. Even if 30 people have been killed, they still are “people”.

Answer 2: 34. It follows the same reason as the first answer with an added layer of reasoning. The number of people inside the room is provided after you enter the bedroom. As such, it can be fair to assume that the count is given including you. Thus, the final number of “people” is 34.

So, which answer did you arrive at? Let us know in the comments below!
