If her daughter, is your daughter’s mum, and you’re obviously the mum of your daughter, you’ve got to be Teresa’s daughter, right?

Shorten "my daughter's mother" to the "pronoun" of the one asking the question "ME " - If a female is asking the question "my mother's daughter" always means "ME or my sister" (no sister is mentioned)

It then becomes If Teresa's daughter is ME, what am I to Teresa?

It then becomes obvious that Teresa is her mother - so the one asking the question is Teresa's Daughter.

So the answer is C.

Hope I've got that right😀 .

The correct answer for all was Teresa thank you for taking part

I fail to see how "Teresa" (E) can be the correct answer. Can you explain your arrival at that answer?

The question asked "What am I to Teresa?"

By my logic - the correct answer is "Daughter" (option C)

I've since checked online (several reliable sources) and found "Daughter" (option C) is the accepted answer. (using a method with similarities to my own being used).

Golfforall My logic seems backed up by many others - there are so many twists but the actual question eventually asked is: "what am I to Teresa?" The CORRECT answer is "Daughter" This (including the comments) might convince any other doubters.

Ann1984 Read my explanation below and also check out other CORRECT answers online. This is the kind of question that needs LOGIC to be used, it's designed to throw people off course.

I have provided many reliable sources to where the answer is "Daughter" can you provide even one where the answer is "Teresa"? (Teresa is the mother of the one asking the question - therefore the one asking the question is known to Teresa as DAUGHTER.

Here's yet another souce where, with explanation, the only logical answer is DAUGHTER.https://puzzlepaheliyan.com/if-teresas-daughter-riddle-answer/

I will still argue that my answer DAUGHTER was CORRECT. Not because I think I'm always correct 😀 but because the actual question (obviously asked by a female) was "What am I to Teresa?" The preceding info was for no other purpose than to allow a logical answer to be arrived at.

The answer "Teresa" couldn't possibly have been correct - it wasn't even one of the options given. The nearest option; "I am Teresa" doesn't even make sense, grammatically, to the question asked.😀

(this type of puzzle - can make the brain hurt).😉

Let's start again using nothing more than LOGIC - and explaining more clearly... before starting remember that the answer options are there to arrive at a logical answer (there might be other logical answers but as they're not listed as an option they can be discounted).

So "my mother's daughter" if spoken by a female means ME. (answer options do not allow for a sister being involved).

So we arrive at this: "Teresa's daughter is ME" (Which could be phrased as "I am Teresa's Daughter" or even "Teresa is my mother" ) The person AKA "ME". Then asks "What am I to Teresa?" meaning "what relation am I to Teresa?"

As it's established that the one asking the question has Teresa as her mother - It should be obvious that "Teresa" has the female asking the question as her daughter.

So the only answer to "what am I to Teresa?" by the one asking the question is DAUGHTER.

😀

So the answer TERESA is INCORRECT.😀

davidstockport ok after hours searching I came across this

The correct answer? The “I” in the riddle is c, Teresa's daughter. Because “my daughter's mother” is me. In that case, the riddle becomes: If Teresa's daughter is me, what am I to Teresa?

So I hold hands up your correct 😂

Do we have some more or try something new

You are a woman ? for the purpose of logic , say your name is Teresa ? Who is your daughter's mother ? I'll let you work it out from there - no need to overthink or draw on the vast (often dodgy ) resources of Google 🙄.

Golfforall Please don't confuse Ann1984 any further she has now realised that the correct answer is DAUGHTER - Ann's mother, it is rumoured, is now confused as to why her daughter is calling her Teresa,😀

I hate confusion and so as to prevent any more, this is a picture of Mother Teresa, but I doubt it is the same person and doubt the child she's holding is Ann. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRCsn04G9wtPYaOixapKXF9OSM4-uIXFgeWxg&usqp=CAU

Don't feel too silly beccatavender - it is the type of question that is designed to attract the wrong answers. The actual correct answer is DAUGHTER. (C)

davidstockport I see nothing wrong with this topic and think there should be a lot more of this kind of topic on chat but also enjoy temel topics regularly and think he gets a raw deal from some members as for the riddle I’ve never been very good at them I’m afraid this one really scrambled whatever brains I do have

Mick82 You perhaps saw what emmabeckz said on a topic, before it was removed about what would happen, on other forums, to an individual "with a supposed telepathic gift" who goes to topics for nothing other than to disrupt, and to spread made up information about other members... I agree with her!

I am also beginning to agree even more with the saying that "a man is often judged by the company he keeps" although I do realise that many people actually believe what they're told by someone who doesn't realise that he may fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

Going back to your remark about seeing nothing wrong with this thread, which was directed at me, I hope nobody has thought by that remark that I do. I enjoy threads like this where people can disagree with each other in a civilised manner.

davidstockport David, i thought we were all getting on so well now you are mocking my gift , shame

We all have something special about us , some choose to keep silent about it , i chose to share , its not a direct form of telepathy , it is more an intuitional type , more vibes, but very strong vibes

But never mind, if you will excuse the loose pun, i know there are sceptics and disbelievers , we are all different , so no offence taken

Your vibes are so innacurate you need to ignore them - my "logic" based on things that you've said is that with your "dodgy vibes" when you toss a coin they tell you whether it will land heads or tails with about a 25% accuracy.

I knew you tossed coins, something a friend (who is really psychic) said, after reading your comments, something to infer that - I might have been wrong about coins though, she might have meant pan-cakes.😀

Its just the logistics, depends on which part of the country we are all at

I am not in the same county as you (although you thought I was and tried to make people think I was) and if you think I would like to meet up with you... remember I've mentioned "a man is often judged by the company he keeps". So it's a big NO from me,

I suggest you try a dating agency.😀

telmel Why choose this topic to suggest a "meet up"? It has absolutely nothing to do with it. (just another topic to disrupt I suppose).

I suspect most members have people to meet up with in the area they live in, and most, quite sensibly, aren't willing to disclose their whereabouts to you or other members. We're not all hard-up for real life friends.
