Challenging yourself and seeing how far you can push your limits is enjoyable for most of us. Maybe it’s our competitiveness, but we take every opportunity to compare ourselves with other people, which is normal. It’s human nature.
The riddle below looks easy at first glance, but don’t rush it! According to some sites, only 1 in 7 get it right on the first try. Can you solve it?
However, that’s wrong!

ANSWER
Let’s break it down logically:
You start with 10 fish.
The riddle says “5 drowned”, but fish can’t drown—they live in water and breathe through gills. So the number of fish hasn’t actually changed.
Then it says “3 came back to life”, which implies they had died. But again, even if some fish had died and then “came back,” it doesn’t change how many you have—they were still counted originally.
Answer: You still have 10 fish.
This is a trick question meant to confuse with illogical or impossible statements.
