This riddle has tricked millions of people online. Penny has five children. The first four are named after months: January, February, March, and April. So what is the name of the fifth child?
Most people automatically think “May”… but that’s not the correct answer.
Read it again carefully.
The fifth child’s name is Penny.
She is the mother, and the riddle never said the children were all named after months. It’s a clever play on how our brains assume patterns.
