THE WORLD'S HARDEST RIDDLE
-------------------------------------
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 squeeze 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 correct answer? Good luck!

The supposed answer to this riddle requires just comprehension, If you look at those questions, there is no commonality found in ALL those events. However the last line "Can you guess this riddle" has one correct answer, supposedly it's No.
The worlds hardest riddle would not be one easy to solve, perhaps it'd be impossible to solve. CCindy got the correct answer. I did not. I was looking too hard for an easy common denominator in all those areas. Of course I couldn't figure out any answer to "and if you look at it, you'll pop", I found that VERY weird... But I still never would've guessed the answer to be "NO"

I've never heard this one before, but to me the answer is obvious. The black car was a hearse. Didn't even have to give this one thought LOL I'd tell this riddle omitting the color black. "Big black" car gives away too much

A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know how to get past the doorman.
He waited by the door and listened.
A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "six." The member replied, "twelve" and was let in.
A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "three." The member replied, "six" and was let in.
The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door.
The doorman said ,"five" and the man replied, "ten" But he was not let in.
What should he have said and why?

I gotta gun ........ !!! ROFLMAO ... I'd sure let him in!!
Good one, Phill!!!
The one above..... as Steve pointed out .. the BLACK car.. was a hearse. Even tho one person in the black car was dead .... the man in the green car wasn't accused of manslaughter, because the body was already dead before the accident.
I have been doing logic problems and riddles for a long time. I used to stink at them too ..... don't feel bad! :hug:

There is nothing capable of meeting all the criteria posed in this riddle. So the answer to the question "can you guess the riddle?" should be "No".

This one's easy !
Quote: What should he have said and why?
The correct answer would be
Probably 1, because the doorman was looking for a descending sequence of numbers that when added together would be divisible by 3. This is all I can deduce from that number sequence. The number 3 is a common denominator.
OR
Look you foolish bouncer, I know you can't count, and have a really bad memory, but I'm one of the six guests that's with the club member you just admitted before me.
Other than that, I concede.
