This one looks ridiculously easy… until you read the question very carefully. 👀
Penny has 5 children.
👧 The 1st child is named January.
👧 The 2nd child is February.
👧 The 3rd child is March.
👧 The 4th child is April.
So, here comes the question:
👉 What is the name of the 5th child?
Take a moment before answering.
Most people immediately see the pattern:
January → February → March → April → May
And just like that, they confidently answer:
🎯 “May!”
Sounds completely logical, right?
But… you may have just fallen into the trap. 😏
Look at the question again.
The puzzle says:
“What is the name of the 5th.”
Read that sentence slowly.
It doesn’t say:
“What is the name of the 5th?”
Notice the punctuation.
There is a period (.), not a question mark (?).
