The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States of America had the same parents, but were not brothers. How can this be possible?
Common Wrong Answers
“They were twins”
Twins would imply that they are two different individuals, and the riddle states that they are the same man.
“They were half-brothers”
Half-brothers would suggest they have different parents, contradicting the information in the riddle about having the same parents.
“They were cousins”
Cousins would not share the same parents, which is a key detail in the riddle.
