The riddle states, “95% of the so-called ‘smart people’ will not get this right!” This sets the stage for a clever wordplay challenge. The phrase “Tom took the two ties to tie the two tall trees” contains a hidden puzzle. The question is, “How many T’s are in THAT?” At first glance, one might overthink the answer, focusing on the context of the ties and trees. However, the key lies in the word “THAT” itself, which contains two “T.” So, the answer to the riddle is simply one. This clever twist highlights how our assumptions can lead us astray!
There are two T’s in the word “THAT.”
