Riddle of the day
"I was born in 1955 and I died in 1935, at the age of 25." How can that sentence be true?
Open-ended riddle — there is nothing to type today. Read the answer and mark it yourself.
Answer: 1955 and 1935 are hospital room numbers, not years — he was born in Room 1955 and, many years later, died in Room 1935, at age 25.
Nothing says those four-digit numbers have to be dates.

About Puzzlekin
Puzzlekin is a free collection of riddles and brain games, written from scratch and grouped by real age bands and real categories — What Am I?, Wordplay, Rhyming Riddles, Math & Logic, Lateral Thinking, and Trivia — so a 5-year-old, a 13-year-old, and an adult all get riddles that are actually the right kind and the right difficulty for them. Every riddle is an original composition — nothing here is copied from another riddle site or list — and every answer has been worked through and checked before publishing, because a wrong answer breaks trust fast.
Each age band has an on-screen version with a "show answer" button, category filters, and an optional free local profile (just a nickname and an avatar — no email, no password) that remembers which riddles you've already solved on this device, so the default view always favors what's new to you. Every band also has a printable version with an answer key at the end, so it works equally well for screen time or a no-screens afternoon.
