A perplexing enigma: How can a woman be born and die in 1975 at the age of 22?

The cognitive trap that deceives us all

**Our mistake?** Automatically associating “1975” with a year. Yet this number could represent a thousand other things: a postal code, a serial number… or **a simple hospital room**. That’s where the genius of this riddle lies: it reveals just how much our interpretations are conditioned.

The revelation that changes everything
. The key? **1975 is not a date, but a place.** This woman was born *and* died in room number 1975, with 22 years of life between those two moments. **A perfect example of lateral thinking**, where you have to dare to leave the beaten path to find the solution.
