Riddle
There are two fathers and two sons. They walk into a candy store and each buys a candy bar for 50 cents. The total for all of the candy bars was $1.50. How is that possible?
Choose an answer
A.One father bought two bars
B.They got a discount
C.One son didn't buy one
D.There was a grandfather, a father and a son.
Hint: It's a 9-word phrase with 34 letters, starting with "T".
Answer
There was a grandfather, a father and a son.
Why this is the answer
With a grandfather, father, and son, the middle person counts as both a father and a son, giving 'two fathers and two sons' among only three people who buy just three candy bars.
