So, I really liked this riddle, so this is based off this one here.
The first is actually seventy-six
The tenth is actually seventy-five
The sixteenth is actually seventy-eight
The eighteenth is actually seventy-nine
IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!

1$\begingroup$ Is "four-six" (instead of "forty-six") intentional in the title? $\endgroup$– puzzledPigMar 28, 2018 at 2:43

1$\begingroup$ Are we supposed to solve an actual problem/question, or can we just agree with the riddle that "IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!" :) $\endgroup$– RileyMar 28, 2018 at 2:44

The pattern is
The Prime Ministers of Canada by age
The first is actually seventy-six
John A. Macdonald lived 76 years
The tenth is actually seventy-five
W. L. Mackenzie King lived 75 years
The sixteenth is actually seventy-eight
Joe Clark is 78 years old.
The eighteenth is actually seventy-nine
Brian Mulroney is 79 years old.
And the title: The twenty-third is four-six
Justin Trudeau is 46 years old.

$\begingroup$ Just wondering, how did you get to the conclusion that these are the Prime Ministers of Canada by age? $\endgroup$ Mar 28, 2018 at 3:08

1$\begingroup$ The riddle you linked to was about US Presidents, so I figured you might have constructed this riddle around the leaders of a different country. And to say that someone "is 76" means that that's their age. $\endgroup$– RileyMar 28, 2018 at 3:11
