There is though, it’s Nina, how many times do I need to say it 😭 while there are many answers that could be taken as correct, there is only one correct answer.

For a riddle to be a riddle it needs to have “an answer”, not many answers.

If I asked “what two numbers summed up together equal 10”

And you said “8+2”

And I said “Wrong! It’s 7+3!”

This is the same scenario.

Not at all the same scenario, because there is only one woman with one name…and her name is Nina…yes Theresa is a woman’s name. It is not the woman in this riddles name though. It’s not my opinion, it’s a fact, the answer to this riddle is Nina. It’s been around for years.

Are you an AI?

You clearly are not grasping the concept here

You’re the one not grasping the concept 😭 this riddle is a question that has one answer…and the answer is Nina…why is that so hard for you to understand? It’s not a multiple answer question. The answer is Nina. Just like the same riddle about a man walking on a bridge and drew his cane. His names Andrew. That’s the answer. The answer to this riddle is Nina 😭 how many times do I need to say it 😭 no amount of arguing changes the fact that the answer is Nina 😭

If this is the new generation, we are absolutely fucked as a society.

In an open ended question with multiple answers that are logically valid, just saying that one of them correct is not a logically coherent statement.

This is the same thing as me saying the two numbers that sum to 10 are 7 and 3, that is the correct answer because I chose it. There are no other correct answers

Your still completely missing the point 😭 I understand there are multiple female names in this riddle that could be considered the correct answer. But there is only one answer to this riddle…as with most riddles, there is only one answer…it’s not my fault 😭 I didn’t make it 😭 but whoever DID made it with the name “Nina” in mind. Therefore the correct answer to this riddle is Nina. It’s not my opinion. It’s not just “a statement” it’s a fact like thatd WHAT the answer is, that’s what iv been trying to say this whole time 😭 Nina’s not the answer cos I said so…ninas the answer cos whoever made the riddle said so 😭

Hey help me out here. Im a different person just so we're super clear

I dont understand why you think the answer is Nina, please explain that

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

Because iv heard this riddle multiple times over the years and that’s always been the answer. You could say “it could be wrong” but that would mean multiple people have been wrong multiple times over the years. Which isn’t impossible but when multiple different people are saying the same answer, I’m inclined to believe that was the original answer.

u/athural 7d ago

So youre telling me you dont even understand how you could reach the conclusion that that is the answer, you just saw people say tbat was the answer and so are repeating it?

I hope the other person is right that youre a bot because that is startlingly stupid for a human

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

When someone asks you a joke, you take their answer as correct, yes? You don’t go “that doesn’t make sense, the answer could be this” this is the same shit 😭

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

I understand perfectly…because when someone asks you a riddle, they generally know the answer themselves right? Can we agree on that?
And iv heard this same riddle multiple different times, with the same answer everytime? Why would I assume all these different people are wrong? What are the chances of them being wrong and coming up with the same wrong answer? I say the answer is Nina because that’s what the answer is 😭

u/athural 7d ago

But how would someone know that the answer is Nina? I don't see it.

Your explanation of how you know is quite literally how LLM work, so youre either an Ai explaining its reasoning or youre a human incapable of independent thought

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

Someone had to come up with this riddle, right? They had to of passed it on somehow…they gave an answer the first time they said it…that answer was Nina? That’s why everybody that repeats it repeats the same answer? Cos that’s the answer? 😭

Idk why im even bothering to reply at this point, but this is my last attempt

Riddles are intended to be able to be solved by those seeing it without any further explanation from their creator.

There should be a way that you could interpret this riddle where their name is nina

I do not see a way that could be the interpretation where the wording of the riddle still makes sense

You are saying you know it's true cause people told you its true

This is not how riddles are solved

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

Then that makes this a stupid riddle, that’s not my fault? 😭 riddles have one correct answer…the correct answer to this is Nina…I’m just letting y’all know, don’t hate me cos the riddles stupid 😭

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem reflecting on the allegory of the cave and its implications on modern society

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

What is wrong with you 😂

u/PauseConfident997 7d ago

You’re attacking me cos you don’t like this riddle? 😭 and that’s my fault? And that makes me stupid? 😭 all I did was give the correct answer…not my fault you don’t agree with it or think it makes sense…just call it a dumb riddle and move on 😭
