"World's Hardest Riddle"
Really, does anyone know the answer to this???
I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?
97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less.
This is one of those dumb trick riddles. The answer is "NO".
Type the first few words into Google.
I couldnt work it out and Googled it as well, No does seem to be the answer, but 'time' also works. I agreed with some comments online, saying that the question at the end is not part of the riddle. If the question is part of it, surely then it ceases to be a riddle and is in fact a trick question?
Let's analyse it
I turn polar bears white
-Nothing "turns" polar bears white, they're born that way.
That's what started me thinking it was a trick.
-and I will make you cry.
Lots of things can make one cry.
-I make guys have to pee
Full bladders do that.
-and girls comb their hair.
That's vanity. My girlfriend never combs her hair. She brushes it. Hardly any girls that I know comb their hair.
-I make celebrities look stupid
vanity
-and normal people look like celebrities.
Reality TV shows
-I turn pancakes brown
heat does that.
-and make your champane bubble.
Carbon dioxide
-If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
Bubble wrap?
-If you look at me, you'll pop.
Just silly.
Can you guess the riddle?
No, because there isn't a single thing that will do all those things, and if there were an answer, it would be out there on the web.
