Now the question is: Can you solve it?
Look at the picture below and think carefully.
An elderly couple went on a picnic. They have 5 sons, and each son has 3 children. In total, how many people went for a picnic?
Yes, time to get thinking. Don’t hurry and carefully count everyone, alright?

C
Time for the answer
Maybe the number in your head is 22? Sadly, that’s wrong.
The right answer is A) 2
Why are there only 2 people went for a picnic?
At the beginning of the riddle, it says that an elderly couple went on a picnic. However, it was never said that their sons and their children also went with them. Since the information provided had included numbers, it probably made you think it was a math problem – but it wasn’t.
The answer was much simpler than most people tend to think.
Did you get the correct answer?
