The World's Hardest Riddle
Body: 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?
What do you think?

Answer is NO you cannot solve the riddle. Thats why kindergarten kids got the right answer. But the answer could be Pressure also.

Im not sure what the answer is. I got this as a chain message on myspace. I wanted to know what you think.Pressure could be it. I just want to see what people could think of it.

i dont agree with the answer of "no"... the reason is the last line "can you guess the riddle?"... well of course anyone can take a GUESS so the answer should be "yes"... and i will try to "guess the riddle" now:
a butcher has a wiast of 34" is 5'6" tall... what does he weigh?
see i just guessed which riddle it is, therefore YES i can "guess the riddle"...

what does pressure have to do with a polar bear being white? otherwise i think it works. If you got it as a chain letter it probably has no answer and they put the harvard and kindergarten comparisons in to piss everyone off so that they send it to other people thus spreading the stupid chain letter. Works better than "send this to 20 people or you will die"

THe amusing thing is to search for this online and see how many discussions there are. There is not unique answer in any of them, which is why these things make the rounds as rather annoying chain letters.
I think the answer is "Yes" I can guess the answer which is what it ultimately asks. It doesn't ask "what am I?" It isn't a riddle, so much as a trick to get people going off on tangents. And so it throws in some possibly extraneous info. At least that is my story

It might be true that college grads can't answer it, because adults and college folk in particular tend to miss the obvious when presented with details.

polar bears were originally grizzly bears that were forced into colder climates in search of food. the colder climate pressured them to adapt to what they are today.....white bears that are elongated, making them easier to camoflage themselves and dive like torpedoes. so "pressure" works for polar bears.
I just don't see how you'll pop if you look at pressure or vice versa. or how pressure makes normal people look like celebrities.
but I agree with somebody else that said kindergarters would not understand the concept of "pressure", so I think the answer is God. God is something that every child knows about. to me, that's the obvious answer

i think it is the sun. this is because the sun makes the polar bears turn white to stay cool. it will make you cry when you get sunburn. it will make you have to pee when you wake up to it. it makes girls comb their hair in the morning. it makes celebrities look stupid when they wear dorky dunglasses. it makes normal people look like celebs when they wear cool glasses. it turns pancakes brown when you cook with fire made by the sun. champane always bubbles if you try to squeeze it you will pop because of the heat. and if you look at it your eyes will pop from the swelling do to the extensive heat. yes i can guess it
