Question

Someone's mom has four sons. East, west, north. What is the name of the fourth son.

Answer 1

The fourth son is "someone".

Explanation:

• This is a very interesting yet confusing riddle.

• The answer lies in the riddle itself.

• Most people will think that the name of the fourth son is the last direction that is left in the riddle.

• But at the beginning of the riddle, it states that "someone's", now it is showing a possessiveness.

• Since the riddle starts with the possessive noun, it shows the name of the fourth son in the beginning.
