[Solved] A grandfather is telling his grandson war stories. “At the end of World War 1, I was awarded for my bravery after saving a group of my men,” the grandfather says. “You see, we were fighting in northern France and one of our enemies threw a grenade at us. I managed to pick it up and throw it away before it exploded. So right after the war ended, a General gave me a sword, engraved with the words ‘Awarded for Bravery and Valor, A True Hero, World War 1’.” The grandson thinks about the story for a minute and then says “Grandpa, that story can’t be true!” How did the grandson know?

This riddle has been around for some time on internet platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and many people still argue over what the answer might be, as there are many possibilities. The correct answer is It was the only World War at that time and World War 2 had not started yet. So, the sword should have been engraved with the words “World War” instead of “World War 1”. It was called World War 1 only after World War 2 started.
