If you want to know her name, it\u2019s in the riddle I just wrote. What\u2019s her name?\n<p>Can you find out the woman\u2019s name? We assure you that there is not a single lie in the riddle.\n</p><p>It\u2019s as straightforward as can be! If you are still struggling, here\u2019s a hint.\n</p><p>Try to break the riddle into smaller parts, and read every part with as much attention as possible.\n</p><p>Also, do not overthink. The name of the woman, however, is not one you will hear out in the streets, so be aware!\n</p><p><strong>Ready for the answer? It is<em>\u00a0\u201cThere\u201d.\u00a0\u201c<em>There is the woman\u2019s name\u201d.\n<p>This riddle is a perfect example of a good one that is also short. It misdirects the reader towards places that are farther away from the real solution.\n</p><p>Of course, \u201cThere\u201d is hardly a name you will ever actually hear. However, technically and grammatically, it is not wrong!\n</p><p>That\u2019s what makes it a bit silly but super fun.
