Question

If you solve this, you are a critical thinker: Mr. Smith had 4 daughters. Each daughter had 4 brothers. How many kids does Mr. Smith have?

Answer 1

Mr. Smith has zero children.

Step-by-step Explanation:

• If we consider the tense in the given riddle then the riddle says that Mr. Smith "had" four daughters and each "had" a brother.

• So the riddle is in the past tense, so it makes zero kids.

• But if we do not consider the tense of the riddle then Mr. Smith has five children, four daughters, and a son, as each has a brother so sisters have one brother.

Answer 2

Mr Smith have no children or has 0 children.

Explanation :

• "Mr Smith had four daughters" - The key word here is 'had'.

• It means, Mr Smith used to have four daughters, but now he don't.

• Similarly, each daughter had a brother. Means, he too is no more left.

• As none, neither daughters nor son are present now, Smith doesn't have any child, although he had 5 of them back then.
