I turn polar bears white

[Guest]

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?

I figured it out after 10 minutes

[Guest]

Lol see? I told you you were wrong.

And the answer is yes btw.

Not no, because no is still answering the question.

[Guest]

Hmmm, so if I follow your logic, 84% of kindergarten children said Yes and that was the right answer, whereas 97% of Harvard grads said No and that was wrong.

If the correct answer to the question, Can you guess the riddle? is yes, then my question to you is

What's the answer. You see, answering in the affiormative implies that you have found a common thread between these disparate things. There is no one common factor tying these things together, hence no correct answer, hence the only logical response is still

No.

Ask a five year old. See what answer you get.

Or you could just go back and read some of the spoilers that Jit posted...

They tell the answer that he was looking for right there.

[Guest]

Nice riddle, I wont bother answering after seeing some spoilers.

97% of people surveyed say that 87% of statistics are made up half the time.

No, 83% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I think that once was Vic Reeves

[Guest]

but i think the answer is still no because children will guess havard student will try to figure it out hence not guessing

Riddle:

When do riddles seem unsolvable? <_<

Answer:

When their solutions aren't, and their answers don't.

I turn polar bears white <- That would be genetics

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 <- That would be heat. Try pressing a pancake on a cold stove.

and make your champane bubble. <- Champagne with pressure [i.e. before it's opened] does not bubble.

If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. <- That would be bubble wrap

If you look at me, you'll pop. <- Uh ... what?

[Guest]

Nothing. There's nothing that can do all of the things listed. So yes, I can answer the riddle.
