這道親屬關係燒腦題在國外火了 難倒眾網友

最近,國外社交網站上一道題目火了,難倒了一眾歪果仁,火爆程度不亞於當年「藍黑」的還是「白金」的裙子……

這道題江湖人稱「特蕾莎女兒之謎」,謎面其實很簡單,就是有點……繞……

來看題:

"If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, what am I to Teresa?"

如果特蕾莎的女兒是我的女兒的媽媽,那我是特蕾莎的誰?

題目還給了5個選項:

a) Grandmother外婆

b) Mother媽媽

c) Daughter女兒

d) Granddaughter外孫女

e) I am Teresa.我是特蕾莎

對親屬關係本來就沒有分太清的國外網友都被繞暈了……

Kayla:我、媽媽和麥克三個人剛花了10分鐘來解這道「特蕾莎女兒之謎」。

Nick Soldan:如果特蕾莎的女兒是我女兒的媽媽,特蕾莎是我的什麼?真是個謎啊!解不開!求助!!!

特蕾莎是誰?!!

特蕾莎的女兒是誰?!!

特蕾莎女兒的媽媽又是誰???!!

大概覺得這道題太難,BuzzFeed給出了題目的解題關鍵……

我女兒的媽媽(my daughter's mother)……其實,就是我呀!

這樣一來,這道題就變成了:如果特蕾莎的女兒是我,那我是特蕾莎的什麼?(If Teresa's daughter is me, what am I to Teresa?)

顯而易見,這道題選C,女兒(daughter)。

你是不是也恍然大悟?

什麼?你說一道不過癮?雙語君(微信ID:Chinadaily_Mobile)精選了一套題,看看你能做對幾道?答案在圖片下面,沒讀完題不許偷看哦~~

幾個女兒

a. I have ten or more daughters.

b. I have less than ten daughters.

c. I have at least one daughter.

If only one of these statements is true, how many daughters do I have?

a.我有十個或者更多女兒。

b.我有少於十個女兒。

c.我至少有一個女兒。

如果三個陳述中只有一個是真的,那麼我有多少個女兒?

答案:

I do not have any daughters and the true statement is: I have less than ten daughters.

我沒有女兒。唯一真實的陳述是:我有少於十個女兒。

因為如果我有女兒,那麼就一定有兩個陳述為真,因此,答案是我沒有女兒。

喝了一杯的女孩死了,但是喝5杯的卻安然無恙。然而,女孩們喝的冰茶都被下了毒。

為什麼活下來的是喝了5杯冰茶的女孩?

答案:

The poison was in the ice. When the girl drank the iced tea, the ice was still fully frozen. Gradually, as the ice cubes melted the poison was released into the drink.

毒在冰塊里。當女孩喝冰茶的時候,冰塊仍然完全是凍結的。但冰塊漸漸融化,毒藥就溶進了冰茶里。
