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?

The answer is 'no.' The reason that Harvard students fail to grasp the riddle is that they are more prone to analyze the riddle itself than to realize that the riddle is in their minds only. The last line of the riddle is the real riddle; "Can you guess the riddle?" Kindergartener's will answer correctly because they are less likely to ignore a piece of the problem in consideration of the whole. In other words, a kindergarten student would think about the last line as just a regular question, and therefore would say 'no'.

Time

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 :)

There are two answers. One is "no" because the last sentence is "can you guess this riddle?"

another one is:

There is a poem written, called "TIME", I dont know who the write is. If you read it, it has like four sentences on what turns a polar white, four sentences about what will make you cry, etc.

So the answer could be "no" or "time".

Get it? Haha.
