Wake Up Your Brain: Salvador Dali’s parents did a very unusual thing … can you figure it out?
There's nothing like a little early-morning riddle to kick-start the day.
QUESTION:
Some time after Salvador Dali’s death, his younger brother became famous as (believe it or not) a surrealist painter.
This younger brother had great international success and the word ‘genius’ was used to describe him.
His name was Dali and he did not change it.
Yet today, the world remembers only one Dali and few people even know that he had a brother.
Why is this?
CLUE:
Salvador Dali is recognised as a brilliant surrealist painter.
Salvador Dali’s younger brother was actually a brilliant surrealist painter but his older brother never knew this.
The two brothers had something important and unusual in common.
ANSWER:
Salvador Dali died at age 7. Nine months later his brother was born and was also named Salvador.
It was the younger Salvador Dali who became the famous surrealist painter.
