I need a bit of clarification first: does the riddle give any context or clues beyond just “Can you guess who is still alive?” Sometimes these riddles are trick questions where the answer depends entirely on wording, not general knowledge.
For example:
- If the riddle is phrased like:
“My father’s brother has 3 sons. One is named April, one is May, who is the third?”
The trick is in the wording—the third is you (the person being addressed).
- For “who is still alive?” riddles, common approaches include:
- Literal reading of the words: Sometimes the answer is in the question itself.
- Play on time: They may describe people, some of whom are deceased, but one is described in present tense.
- Wordplay: Sometimes “alive” refers to the word itself or letters, not a person.
If you give me the full riddle exactly as written, I can give a carefully reasoned, step-by-step answer instead of guessing.
Do you have the complete riddle text?
