“Christine’s daughter is the mother of my daughter. How am I related to Christine?”

Take the Challenge!

On the surface, this statement loops back on itself. Who is whose child? Everyone’s a “mother” or “daughter” here—so how do they all connect? Grab a pen (or open a fresh note), break down each phrase, and prepare to map out the relationship step by step.

Common Pitfalls: Why Solvers Get Tripped Up

  • Assuming the speaker is one of the daughters. Jumping to “I must be Christine’s daughter” without checking every role.
  • Overlooking “mother of my daughter.” Forgetting that this phrase refers to the speaker’s spouse, not necessarily the speaker.
  • Introducing extra generations. Bringing in siblings or grandparents that aren’t mentioned, which only muddies the waters.

By sticking strictly to the wording—no extra relatives—you’ll avoid these traps.

Step‑by‑Step Solution: Unraveling the Ties

Locate “the mother of my daughter.”

  • That person is the speaker’s spouse, since they share the same child.

Match that role to “Christine’s daughter.”

  • The riddle states Christine’s daughter is the mother of my daughter.
  • Therefore, Christine’s daughter = speaker’s spouse.

Draw the relationship.

  • If your spouse is Christine’s child, then you are Christine’s child’s partner.

State the answer.

  • Christine is the speaker’s parent‑in‑law (commonly called a mother‑in‑law).
