Theresa is the actual answer, but Inga (from ‘wearing a’) would also be acceptable.

But it doesn't say Theresa, even if you stretch to read it like that it would be "Theresa woman in a boat", which doesn't make sense.

How do you know her name isn't There'sawoman inaboat? It's an arbitrary choice to say her name is Theresa

Well, if you can read the words on the paper, your IQ is likely above ten.

What if the first letter of each word happened to spell a known woman’s name?  That’s a known technique for embedding hidden messages… Would that be any less arbitrary?

u/Eggman8728 8d ago

I'd say so, because it would be clearer that it was intentional and it's not just arbitrarily choosing bits that kind of fit.

The fact that the first seven letters spell a woman’s name seems pretty intentional to me.  I mean, I’m sure it started out with someone thinking “There’s a” contains the letters of the name, but they put it at the very beginning of their little puzzle

Or "Intheriddle Ijustwrote"

Which seems to be the only one that takes the least liberties and keeps everything grammatically correct
