The World's Hardest Riddle
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 answer 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
Would love to share this one with my grand daughters...but I need the answer first...LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe answer is "no"!The trick is we focus on the puzzle of the riddle and forget to actually answer the question. I don't know about the statistics at the end but it makes sense that adults will try to figure it out and concentrate on the details while little kids will focus on the question, and answer "no".If you google for this you'll find it on a lot of forums where people come up with answers like wind, air, snow, pressure, time... it's a very interesting sociological phenomenon!
ReplyDelete:lol: That is amazing. I missed the question too and as you said, concentrate on the details and not the question.Good one!! :yes:
ReplyDeleteNow that is too funny!
ReplyDeleteso really all it proves (if it was ever made to prove anything) is adults and kids are different, and it doesn't matter how smart you are, its just apart of an adult brain to think like that..?interesting :D
