Family name riddle
911.7K Views
Jacob ans Jenny have six children: Donald, Rebecca, Michael, Faye, Solomon, and Lara. Jenny is pregnant of her seventh child, a girl. Jacob and Jenny have chosen a name for her that fits with the other names.
What will be the name of the seventh child: Jessica, Karen, Abby or Tilly?
None of those.
It looks like they are using the solfege note scale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solf%C3%A8ge#Fixed_do_solf%C3%A8ge) but after La there is Si and none of the names start with Si.
It’s actually Tilly, you’re thinking of the solfege minor note scale, in this case its the solfege major scale. If you scroll up a bit in the link you posted it actually mentions it.
