K, I found this recently, apparently it's got some age, but what the hey, give it a crack. Personally I cam up with two semi decent answers and found a far more logical one somewhere else, so who wants to put on their overanalyzing cap with me.*


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 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. Can you guess the riddle?

*yes I'm aware that kindergarteners don't overanalyze.

challenge failed, marketing however is successful.

Ok, I guess I'll let this riddle stew for a bit.
But for promotion's sake, I'll say that my first though was light. I can state reasonable examples for all but two parts, but it didn't fully cut the mustard with me.

wait hold on a sec... i thought the polar bear thing was resemble the coke cola. b/c i saw it on tv before (lol now just thinking that)

oh ya! and oddly enough, cola seems to beat out my first guess of light. I can't imagine how it would make girls comb their hair or make champagne bubbles tho.

DocHack

DocHack
05-10-2008, 04:28 PM

one of those is one of the better answers to this (well from what I've seen all around). my second thought was 'pressure'! it fits for everything I think.

ya after i though up time i went and googled this and apparently time is a good answer and so is pressure.. i dont think soda worked tho because no one said it was right -.-

actually if it makes it pop then its cola with mentos candy...or chuck norris...idk

analogZero

ya, i googled it too after a while. I saw lots of crazy answers thrown about. a lot of people got all into the harvard vs kindergarten part saying that kindergarteners wouldn't guess stuff like that. and then there was stupid crap about the last line too. overanalyzing's fun, but overoveranalyzing just leads to stupidity and a sore head.
time looks like the best one in my opinion. second place is pressure.
chuck unfortunately doesn't work, cuz if you squeeze him he wouldn't pop, he'd immasculate you.

There's really no right answer to it. Lots of things could work. Pressure, time, grease, alcohol, etc.

Just now noticed more answers lol

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.

I am sorry but coke or pressure won't make polar bears white.My first though,was obviously the sun,but then i though also about time.But if you look at the two last lines
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
It just make's no sense.But then again nothing will make you pop if you look at it and at the same time it will pop if you squeeze it.And in the end,if theirs one possibility of that riddle having a solution,then it's propably an human eye.
