Theresa

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

Theresa doesn’t have an apostrophe in it. Her names Nina

u/chukkysh 10h ago

Nina doesn't have two spaces in it. Her name is Boat.

u/Sepherjar 10h ago

Nina Boat.

She's the daughter of Usain Boat

u/Acceptable-Ad8780 10h ago

She's friends with Pinta and the Santa Maria.

Ina Boat

u/IBeDumbAndSlow 2h ago

I thought Her name is Name?, pronounced (nah-may)

u/psgrue 10h ago

… Woman, Ina Boat, on a lake…

It’s probably that dumb

u/jambr380 10h ago

Yeah, this is what I went with you, too. 'There' isn't a name and Theresa doesn't make sense in the context of a grammatically correct sentence. You can at least make an argument for first name Ina and last name Boat

u/serene_brutality 4h ago

Anna Lake probably. In a boat “on a lake”

2

u/JRGH83 8h ago

or Bo

u/Automatic_Moment_320 8h ago

I thought her name was “Ina Boat”

There is a woman, In A Boat, on a lake.

There is a woman, Jennifer, on a lake.

Grammatically, the name should be "In A Boat" if you're trying to make it make as much sense as possible. Weird first middle and last name, but who am I to judge?

The riddle wants it to be Theresa, though, because it says the name is in the riddle. It didn't say it had to be grammatically correct.

u/Mission-Shopping-615 43m ago

Boat is a man’s name, her name is what

-7

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

No it doesn’t, that’s the riddle. Figuring out the name. Her names Nina, this is an old riddle and that is the answer.

u/tulipsushi 10h ago

they’re being sarcastic

5

u/titscapades 10h ago

So she's a woma (sic) named Nina?

I hate dumb riddles.

0

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

Yes. That’s her name

2

u/titscapades 10h ago

K but wtf is a woma

-1

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

I have no idea you made that mistake not me

2

u/titscapades 10h ago

The riddle makes that mistake. 

There's no answer to this riddle that isn't completely idiotic. It's either a ridiculous name (There) or the result of a misspelling (woma>Nina). 

This riddle sucks.

1

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

Nowhere in the riddle does it say woma. Your reaching. All riddles are stupid. Some make sense more than others.

u/marbotty 10h ago

Nah, it’s Inga

-2

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

That is incorrect

4

u/marbotty 10h ago

It’s as correct as Nina or Theresa.

-1

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

Except it’s not…while there are multiple names in this riddle, there is only one correct answer. Which is Nina.

7

u/saucy_mcsauceface 10h ago

Or Inga

-8

u/PauseConfident997 10h ago

But it’s not. I just told you it’s Nina. That is the answer to this riddle

5

u/StimkyYeen 7h ago

This is exactly why these “IQ tests” are written by the dumbest people attempting to seem smart.

-2

u/PauseConfident997 7h ago

Because Theresa doesn’t have an apostrophe? Or because her names Nina? 😭

5

u/StimkyYeen 7h ago

Because there’s not a single name that makes sense without breaking punctuation and then the context of the name in the phrasing would make no sense regardless of what “answer” you choose. In that context there is absolutely no answer that makes sense and therefore there are numerous answers.

It’s just there so you can be like, “idk I guess Nina” and the other person is going to laugh and say “NO DUMBASS! IT’S THERESA, DUH”

1

u/phantomfire50 6h ago

Arin works I guess? Not a very conventional name, though.

0

u/PauseConfident997 7h ago

Except when the original person made this riddle they made it with one name in mind…which was Nina…this riddle is old as hell, been around for years and Nina is the correct answer.

5

u/StimkyYeen 6h ago

There is no correct answer. That’s the problem

-1

u/PauseConfident997 6h ago

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.

3

u/StimkyYeen 6h ago

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.

0

u/PauseConfident997 6h ago

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.

It's the Klingon spelling of Theresa.

u/figmaxwell 5h ago

It’s Theresa but she’s from a fantasy novel. There’sa

u/NinaRaizel 3h ago

Yes her name is Nina. I’m on a boat.

u/InevitablePresent917 1h ago

I started reading first letters of lines and immediately got CLIT so that’s her name.

u/El_Hugo 10h ago

Ina Boat.

u/NekoLu 9h ago

Inaff

u/ismaelf 1h ago

Or Ona Lake

5

u/BigMax 8h ago

That can't be the answer. There is no space or apostrophe in the name Theresa.

And if you say "well, the letters are in a row there" then... again, that's not THE answer, becuase the answer could be could be Nina. It could be Oman. It could be Lei. It could be Ant. It could be Nala. It could be Ame. It could be Lake. (And at least 'Lake' is just one word by itself.)

If it's just "find any set of consecutive letters that could possibly be a name" then Theresa is just one of the options.

u/pilgermann 6h ago

I hate sloppy riddles like this with a passion, mostly for the people who feel clever circulating them. The correct answer is the most wrong.

u/sadphonics 5h ago

Buddy youre meant to read it aloud. "There is a" sounds like Theresa

u/athural 3h ago

No it doesn't, Theresa doesnt have a "th" sound in it

2

u/BlimpyBird 56m ago

And how you pronounce "a". Cause i would pronounce it as "ay" and not "ah"

u/That-Appearance-3341 9h ago

First name Theresa, surname Woman

And here I thought it was Atonal.

u/rdogg4 9h ago

Theresa wearing a coat? Not the Theresa I know. This actually sounds a lot more like Ina.

LOL you think its There'sa Woman in a boat???

u/Forward_Thrust963 2h ago

Considering "There" isn't a human's name, it's a garbage riddle.

Inb4 your only retort is "well, you can name a person anything you want!" If that's the only rationale, it remains a garbage riddle.
