"Mrs. Watt has 5 children. The oldest four children's names are Lala, Lele, Lili, and Lolo," the riddle reads. "What is the name of the youngest child - why do people laugh at her name?"
You might have jumped the gun and quickly guessed that the child's name is Lulu, because the first four children have the same name with different vowels - and 'U' is the last one available. However, this is not the right answer. Feeling stuck? Thought so!

Oasis Reunion at Heaton Park in Manchester: start time, tickets, potential setlist and what you need to know
Oasis' 2025 summer reunion tour is, for many Brits, the year's most hotly anticipated event – and it's already underway. The Gallagher brothers got back together last Friday and Saturday for their first reunion shows in Cardiff and delivered two spectacular shows that were worth every bit of the hype, with top-notch performances and setlists packed with hits not heard for decades. Over 900,000 tickets have been sold for the brothers' UK shows in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh, where they'll play some of the country's grandest, most legendary arenas. Nowhere, however, is the Oasis hype quite like it is in Manchester. The Gallaghers' shows at Heaton Park aren't just more tour stops: these are homecoming dates at a venue that has a special place in the band's history. Oasis played three nights at Heaton Park back in 2009 and this time they've upped the ante, lining up five dates. It's no exaggeration to say that Oasis' 2025 Heaton Park shows are expected to be full-blown cultural events. If you're lucky enough to have nabbed a ticket, here's everything you need to know about the shows – from timings and transport to any remaining ticket availability.
