This riddle is spreading through social media and it seems no one can figure it out. Can you? 

It's a simple question, yet it will make your brain hurt trying to come up with the correct answer. Here it is.

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

Now there are a couple of versions of this question floating around. One with multiple choice answers and one without. First, see if you can solve it without multiple choice answers.

Got it? Are you sure?

Let's see the question again with multiple choice answers.

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

A. Grandmother
B. Mother
C. Daughter
D. Granddaughter
E. I Am Teresa

Well that might change things.

So what did you come up with?

The internet is all a buzz with answers to this question. Here's what the answer should be, but you may have a different one.

If there are no multiple choice options, the obvious answer is you are Teresa's significant other or father or other mother of Teresa's daughter, all depending on what family unit you have.

If there are multiple choices, you can't be a man now, so you must be Teresa and you like to talk about yourself in the third person.

Teresa's daughter = My daughter's mother

My daughter's mother = you

So therefore Teresa's daughter = You

Does your head hurt now?

Take a look at how some people are getting all worked up over the answer in these Facebook comments, some of which are NSFK or Not Suitable For Kids. I may have just made that acronym up.
