Here’s the answer to the viral London Bridge riddle

And the answer is… Andrew! Yep, his name is Andrew. But why I hear you ask? Well, if you read the riddle quickly, the words “and” and “drew” merge into one and make Andrew. So, this is a say-it-out-loud kind of riddle. As a lot of them always are.

His name is hidden right there in plain sight! It’s one of those riddles that goes viral on social media all the time and leaves people scratching their heads every single time.

It also makes a lot of people very angry because your first reaction when you find out the answer is what the hell does “Andrew his cane” mean? Honestly, nobody knows. I didn’t make the riddle, and everyone agrees it’s a bit of a stupid one.
