Why can’t we say savez-vous instead of sais-tu? It could be addressing more than one person

Hi Judy and Catherine,

I think Aurélie chose the 'tu' form as it is a riddle and probably meant for a child. But you could use the 'vous' form -

Savez-vous qui je suis?

I was wondering the same. I assumed we would use formal as opposed to tutoyer.
