This viral riddle is fooling many with its apparent simplicity. The puzzle presents an image of three women, A, B, and C, dressed in prison uniforms, and asks: “Who just got married?” At first, there are no obvious hints, and the women appear much alike.
The solution, however, is hidden in plain sight, in a small detail on their hands. In many cultures, a wedding ring is worn on the left ring finger, and this is the crucial clue.
Upon closer inspection, Woman A has a faint dent on her left ring finger, suggesting she once wore a ring but no longer does, indicating a past marriage. Woman B has a similar mark, also pointing to a previous marriage that is now over.
Woman C’s left ring finger is smooth, with no prior marks, but she is wearing a brand-new, shiny wedding ring. This fresh ring, along with the absence of a long-term indent, strongly indicates that she has just recently gotten married.
Therefore, Woman C is the correct answer. This riddle’s brilliance lies in its subtlety, challenging your attention to detail rather than complex logic.
