Riddle No. 6
Hi everybody!
It’s time again to announce who won the last riddle, and again, it was…… NAOMI! Oh my god, she is just fanatstic at riddles. Sorry Nadine that you didn’t get the meaning of the riddle. Anyway, time for the next riddle. Hope it’s not too hard or not too easy. Here it goes:
Two grandmothers, with their two granddaughters;
Two husbands, with their two wives;
Two fathers, with their two daughters;
Two mothers, with their two sons;
Two maidens, with their two mothers;
Two sisters, with their two brothers;
Yet only six in all lie buried here;
All born legitimate, from incest clear
How is this possible?
Good luck!
Two widows each had a son, and each widow married the son of the other and then each had a daughter
I hope this is the answer!

Hi Natnat,
Very HARD I must say! It was a matter of trial & error, it took forever
After forever and a day I figured out that the answer is:
Two widows each had a son, and each widow married the son of the other and then each had a daughter.
WEIRD!
Naomi
Hi natnat I think the answer is A family all together generation after generation?
Hope it’s right!!
keep in touch!
Hi Natalie!!!
I have another suggestion and that is: The Widows had a Son(daughter),
and each son reproduced babies(sons).
Hope they are right!!
Thank you
Hi everybody!
YES YES YES! Go Mikhaila, Naomi, AND Norma, you got it right!! The answer was that there were two widows who each had a son, and then each widow married the son of the other and then they each had a daughter. Good luck with the next riddle!
