world's hardest riddle

Sun Mar 02, 2008 5:14 pm

hey guys, i was really intrigued by this riddle..i know it's kinda old..but i'm expecting good answers from you...

The World's hardest riddle...
can you figure it out?


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?


9 7% 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?

The answer is time.

Can you teach me how to squeeze time and make it pop, Pdub? I always wanted to do that.

Mon Mar 03, 2008 5:01 pm

Do you have banning powers Pdub?

This is one of those rare times where you can use and abuse it and the others won't mind. We really don't mind if JT_55 gets banned for a week or so. :proud:

Pretend your skull is a physical representation of time, put it in a vice, and tighten until you, I mean time, pops.

Wouldn't a ballon work better?

Mon Mar 03, 2008 6:55 pm

Hmmm...a ballon....never heard of it. Guess its a possibility.

Bash JT's head with a hammer.
Bash JT's balloon with a hammer.

See, a balloon just doesn't sound right. It has to be your head.

sounds British. where they call an elevator a "lift" and where "bird" can be interchanged with "bitch."

Mon Mar 03, 2008 8:08 pm

the answer is no, i can't guess it

Mon Mar 03, 2008 10:58 pm

LMAO at Qballer, you do realise the english language comes from britain hence a lift is actually a lift and not an elevator.

Tue Mar 04, 2008 12:06 am

^This is exactly why British people piss me off.

The English language was first spoken in Britain, so what? That does not prove a "lift is a lift"

In fact, a lift is not a lift: more than 80% of the world's English speakers use the word "elevator", hence a "lift" is an elevator, not a lift. Just as a "flat" is an apartment, "sweets" are candy and "trousers" are pants.

Can't you accept the fact that the English language has evolved and most of the world's speakers prefer to speak that way?

British English is spoken by a very small number of people, hence the English language and British English are not synonymous.

The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disapear.

The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.

As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs

As time marches on
Girls loose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush

As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh

As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequal

As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter

As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine

As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.

As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehand something so vast.

i agree with your lift theory in reflection although i believe the original of something is where it started from. The only reason americans adopted different phrases or words was to escape the english aristocracy when they first arrived in america. Hence english is in fact the language spoken in england and hence is the "original" english language.

There weren't elevators in the 1700s.

There are born 5-7% more boys than girls, hence, we are all the gay?

(Yes, I am tired)

WTF Dahl? That doesn't make sense :lol:

Not elevators in the modern sense but if we want to be pedantic about it, the concept has been around for thousands of years.
