The answer is simply "no".
That's why kindergarteners can answer it...
Look here: http://www.teensetc.com/0f/0d/bi/index.s...
Although the riddle originally was based on a poem about time, there were errors in it that make it impossible to be answered with "time".
The last part of the riddle, "If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop." is actually from an old riddle which had the answer "bubble". (if you squeeze it it will pop, if you look at it you see your reflection and you pop.)
And the answer "pressure" came from a kid or someone who knew nothing at all about why it is cold at the north pole or why polar bears appear white.
Good riddle! e

The answer is NO
Most kindergarteners will usually respond with a quick no, while grad students will exhaust hours trying to figure out an answer?
Also, the final line of the riddle is can you guess the riddle?, not what am I?

its sad but the answer is 'time'
heres why... (note, i didn't solve this myself http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_can_turn_polar_bears_white)
The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disapear.
(...I turn polar bears white )
The time has past
as man looks back with a sigh
and a tear in his eye.
(...and I will make you cry.)
As time is held
boys cross their legs
but of course the toilet begs
(...I make guys have to pee)
As time marches on
Girls loose their blush
and swap a comb for their brush
(...and girls comb their hair.)
As time passes
For those held high
their end is nigh
(...I make celebrities look stupid )
As time catches up
Everyone is equal
when we get to the final sequal
(...and normal people look like celebrities.)
As time turns
Without it we have flour and water
With it we have breakfast for my daughter
(...I turn pancakes brown )
As time revolves
How does one turn water and wine
into something so fine
)...and make your champane bubble.)
As time runs out
The more in a minute you try and squeeze
the less you can do with ease.
(...If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. )
As time ticks
All the time that has past
man cannot comprehand something so vast.
(...If you look at me, you'll pop. )
Time is the answer -_-
or/and.. because i still this the previous answer is right
This question was asked to Harvard students and kindergarten students '91% of Harvard students could not give the corrcet answer but 84% of kindergarten students gave the answer in 6 minutes or less.'
And yea, the answer was No, both answers lame if you ask me.

Because they do not suppose the tuition atmosphere is the fine position for children to make peers, broaden social knowledge, be trained to paintings in a staff, or be trained something else for that topic. School does not paintings for all children. Also, tuition isn't the ONLY position to be trained any of those matters, and so much homeschooling mum and dad placed plenty of attempt into making definite their children get a well educational and social schooling. You fairly ought to seem past your possess state or county. It's honestly on no account special for reliable, certified lecturers to select homeschooling for his or her possess kids (of every age).
