How Many Siblings Are There? #Riddles #Quiz #Math

Riddles often test our reasoning skills, and today’s puzzle is no exception. Let’s analyze it together!

The riddle states: “I have 4 brothers, and each brother has 4 brothers. How many of us are there?”

At first, it may seem complicated, but with some logical thinking, the answer becomes clear. Let’s go through it step by step:

Step 1: Identify the Speaker
The person saying “I have 4 brothers” is included in the count, meaning he is one of the brothers.

Step 2: Count the Brothers
The speaker has 4 brothers, and each of these brothers also counts the speaker among their siblings. This means there are not additional brothers beyond these 5:

The speaker + 4 brothers = 5 brothers in total.
Final Answer:
There are 5 brothers: the speaker and his 4 siblings.

Why This Riddle Can Be Misleading
The phrasing of the riddle might lead you to think there are more brothers than there actually are. However, by analyzing it logically, we see that the total remains at 5.
