So the puzzle basically asks viewers that if the day before yesterday, little Mary was seven years old. But the following year, she turned 10 years old. Now, how can a young child skip three years and grow in terms of age, so quickly? Logical and reasoning is the name of the game so please think twice before answering.

The solution

Are you ready for the final answer? Well, we sure hope so! Ok, so the trick lied in the question. Today is the first of January and Mary’s birthday is on the 31st of December. She just turned 8 years old yesterday and will turn 9 on her birthday, this year. Next year, Mary will be celebrating her 10th birthday!
