Or, as you said, not one of the ladies got wet, all three did!
If there's one bad fat ladies teaser, I haven't heard it!
They could also b wearing rain-macs?
The most obvious answer is that it isn't raining, but wot eva floats ur boat!
The fat lady has just sung

I t didn't say it was raining so I thought that was the answer"it wasn't raining " Fooled me a little.
is this a riddle? or public humiliation on your part?
I agree, my first answer was it wasn't raining. It's one where there are many possible answers.
I thought it wasn't raining too... its ok.
ok, i think we agree that it was most likely not raining, and patymany, it said one "small" umbrella
well i dont care wut the rest of ya peole say. this is a TRICK joke and i thought it was funny!
was this riddle even WORTH a comment from all you people..*laughs*
OR maybe it wasn't raining...
i was going 2 say bc it is not raining. it was still very easy.
Well, my friend. You didn't thake in consideration that even thouh the umbrella may seem small to you, it may be big enough for the fat ladies because the univierse is relative. Also, the hyberbolic shape of the umbrella may be more than enough to stop the rain as you can see in this formula : X = [Y^(pi) - C^2] / 3.5
your joking right i dont know about any formula but it prbly wuznt raining
or they could be inside...
I MEANT or it could have been raining
I MEANT that it could also not have been raining

was it raining outside to begin with?
*sniff sniff* i got n easy teaser wrong. i feel so ashamed of myself. i thought they had a huge umbrella but i guess not..........good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your grade is: A++++++++++++++++.
I thought the umbrella was huge too!!!!! And I thought it was soooo easy!!!!!
there needs to be a feel asleep page
have these ladies never heard, you don't put your umbrella up inside - it causes bad luck!!
(if anyone knows where the superstition comes from i'd love to know!)
but i went with it wasn't raining...

Maybe they were three ladies from a balancing act,and they were standing on each others shoulders??? Ok,that was rather lame.
or it isn't raining! That is two answers! How do we know that!
I thought it wasn't raining too. I'm sorry, but there really needs to be another way to say this. Good try though!
Who said it was even raining?!?
or you ccould say it wasn't raining
Wow i could swear there were like 5 teasers about people under umbrellas not getting wet on Braingle..
I too thought it wasn't raining... no reference was made to the size of the umbrella either.
I suggest more information be given in these type teasers. It's a good idea to have a friend or family member read the teaser and offer their answers before you submit the final draft for acceptance.

They couldn't have been inside... it's bad luck to open an umbrella inside.
or it wasn't raining!
i thought it wasnt raining
i would have though it wasn't raining!

It's obvious that "It wasn't raining" is a better answer.
2 things: You didn't say that it was raining
Not One of them got wet - two of them could have gotten wet
Not One of them got wet - two of them could have gotten wet
I don't get it.
