The riddle concludes with the phrase: “What is the woman’s name.” There is a full stop after ‘name’, implying that technically ‘What’ is the woman’s name. Yet, others contested that the puzzle hinted at the name being entirely different. One individual responded: “It’s ‘what’.” But another retorted: “This makes sense but the riddle says the answer is in the riddle. ‘What’ isn’t.”
Another user chimed in: “This is poorly written. It should be ‘What’, but as it is written ‘the riddle I just wrote,’ that can’t be the answer.”
However, some suggested the name could be Theresa, with the letters ‘there’s a’ forming the name. Others proposed the name could simply be ‘There’.
The correct answer is There. Did you guess correctly? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
