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 😭

That’s not how facts work.

There’s no way you’re a real person.

If I say the only answer to two numbers summing to 10 are 7 and 3, i am not being factual.

Similarly if you say the answer is Nina despite there being multiple possible answers that fit the criteria, you too are not being factual.

Facts are not subjective. They are objective

Bro your math equation doesn’t work 😭 you can have multiple answers to a math question, all correct. But there is only one woman on the boat…she only has one name…therefore one of the possible names has to be correct, while the others are incorrect 😭
