Good morning, everyone! How are you this lovely Thursday morning? I (Athena) can’t believe we’re about to welcome the last month of 2023. I’m very excited to attend Christmas parties next month and meet loved ones whom I haven’t seen in a while. But enough about me, the answer to yesterday’s riddle awaits!

Two men were playing tennis. They played five sets, and each man won three sets. How can this be possible?

It’s possible because… the two men were partners playing doubles! Congratulations to those who answered correctly—your well-deserved shout-out awaits below! Up next is a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that the longest TV commercial ran for 14 hours? It was produced by Procter & Gamble, promoting Old Spice Deodorant and aired on December 8, 2008. Can you imagine waiting that long for an ad to end?
