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 The man was facing the west (towards the sunset) and running forward, but the woman was facing the east and running backwards. The man’s right hand was holding the woman’s right hand. As the man veered to his left, the woman veered to her right as she was running backwards.
