The brain teaser poses the question: ‘What am I to Teresa, if Teresa’s daughter is my daughter’s mother.’ Alongside the brain teaser, five options are given: a. Grandmother, b. Mother, c. Daughter, d. Granddaughter, e. I am Teresa. Do you think you have what it takes to solve this brain teaser?

Take a look at the brain teaser here:

An individual posted, “If Teresa’s daughter is my daughter’s mother, this means: Teresa’s daughter = My daughter’s mother. My daughter’s mother would typically be referring to oneself unless the speaker is the father. So, in this case, the speaker is Teresa’s daughter. So, the answer to ‘What am I to Teresa?’ is: b. Mother.”

“Daughter,” added another.

A third joined, “C. Your daughter’s mother is you, therefore Teresa’s daughter is you.”

“Mother in law, only answer,” declared a fourth.

A fifth commented, “Teresa’s daughter, if Teresa’s daughter is your daughter’s mother and you are your daughter’s mother, than you have to be Teresa’s daughter.”

“Option F. You are the father,” claimed a sixth.

A seventh remarked, “Grandmother, because if Teresa is the daughter of ‘my’ daughter then you’re technically the grandmother.”
