this is just a riddle, so..

It’s 10 o’clock in the night and you decided to take a stroll on the beach. On your way there you encounter a strange seashell laying on the ground. Excited to add it to your new collection you touch the seashell only to be teleported to another realm. You walk around confused, trying to find your way out but you see two paths and an old woman standing in front of you. She says: “To find the way out you must answer this question. You only have two options and there are no right answers. You have five seconds to think about it.” Confused, you give it some thought. There’s nowhere else to go to might as well give it a try. “I agree to the terms” you say. The lady smiles before she announced her riddle: “your parents have been kidnapped. And you can only save one of them. Who would you save? Your mother or your father..?”

Shocked from the riddle of the old lady you begin to give it some thoughts. “One..” the lady began counting. “Two..” you still haven’t figured out the answer. “Three..” you remember her words and with that you find the answer. Once the lady finished counting she smiles at you as she reveals a secret door. “You may leave this place..”

What was the answer to the lady's riddle?

(Hint: The lady said there was no right answer.)​

Sagot :

Answer:

The answer to the old lady's riddle is that there is no answer. She said there were no right answers, so the only logical conclusion is that the question itself is meaningless and cannot be answered.

By stating there are no right answers, the old lady is implying the question is a paradox or trick question. Answering would go against her own stated terms. The only way to "win" is to realize the question is not meant to be answered, since that would go against her own rules.

Explanation

The key to solving this riddle is in the old lady's statement that there are no right answers. This means any answer you give, even if you choose one parent over the other, is not the "right" answer.

If you try to choose between saving your mother or father, you are still playing by the old lady's rules, which she said have no right answers. The only way to win is to realize the question itself is invalid and cannot be answered, since that would go against the lady's own stated terms.

By refusing to answer and pointing out the paradox, you are the only one who has truly solved the riddle according to the old lady's own conditions. Choosing one parent over the other would still be playing by her rules, which she said have no right answers.

So in summary, the answer is that there is no answer. The only way to win is to realize the question itself is invalid and cannot be answered, since that would go against the old lady's own stated terms. The riddle is a paradox that cannot be solved by answering it directly.
