A viral riddle asks: “A woman was born in 1975 and died in 1975, yet she was 22. How?” It works because of assumption bias—most people read 1975 as a year, making the timeline impossible and prompting wild theories.
The twist: 1975 isn’t a year but a hospital room number. She was born in room 1975 and died there 22 years later.
The puzzle shows how assumptions shape perception and reminds us to question context before jumping to conclusions. 🧠
