Riddles are a great way to exercise our brains and improve critical thinking skills. They push us to think creatively and find unique solutions.

However, not everyone enjoys them. Many people find riddles frustrating because they can be tough to solve on the spot.

The answers often require thinking outside the box, which can leave us feeling puzzled.

Got it? The riddle gives you the answer right from the beginning: “There is a woman on a boat.”

It might not be a common name (or even a name at all), but if you replace it with something like “Sally is a woman on a boat,” the sentence makes perfect sense!

Did you guess correctly? Other creative answers have included “Theresa,” “Ona Lake,” or “Ina Boat.”
