Once upon a time Patsy wrote the following in her diary:
"The day before yesterday Percy was 13 years old. Next year he will turn 16."
How can she have been correct?
Is that a puzzle or a riddle? I have always thought the difference lies in the fact that a riddle has some sort of hidden meaning or requires lateral or out-of-the-box thinking. While we are on the subject what is a conundrum? I looked it up in the dictionary and disappointingly is said that a conundrum was a riddle!
