The Worlds Hardest Riddle

By lilBoPeep

I got this email and for the life of me - I cannot figure out what it is!! So I thought I'd throw it to the clever people here on QL. Any ideas??

I turn polar bears white

And I will make you cry.

I make boys 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 champagne bubble.

If you squeeze me, I'll pop

If you look at me, you'll pop.

Can you guess the riddle?

The time has come,

winter is here

and those yellow bears disappear.

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 sequel

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 comprehend something so vast.

chichi, there was a method to my madness.

1. Polar bears - gay old men are referred to as polar bears so i'm guessing they drink beer.

2. I will make you cry - some people get emotional when they drink beer.

3. I make boys have to pee - no explanation needed.

4. Make girls comb their hair - they're getting ready to go out drinking.

5. I make celebrities look stupid - no explanation required.

6. And normal people look like celebrities - beer goggles usually at this stage.

7. I turn pancakes brown - beer is good for cooking, even better if you're drinking while you cook.

8. And make your champagne bubble - beer has bubbles.

9. If you squeeze me I'll pop - beer can make a person fart.

10. If you look at me, you'll pop - well I get excited when I see beer.

OK I was a little confused.. Its not Polar Bears, but the Romulans that have a cloaking meachanism - Pretty common mistake to make, I might add.

By MissX• 16 Jun 2009 14:02

Ok I think polar bear skin is actually black, and it's an under layer of fur that is white, but the outer layer is transparent.

By MissX• 16 Jun 2009 13:55

Actually polar bears do not have white fur. Their fur is transparent and it is the skin underneath that is white.

Well, that's if certain internet sources are to be believed.

Brit boy

1. Polar bears dont have any cloaking mechanism, they wear white coats, just like penguins wear tuxedos, and when then come down to the warmer climates they slip into something more brown.

2. Heat produced from the fire is transferred to the frying pan which in turn heats up the frying pan. Pancakes get burnt when u leave them on the frying pan to go answer the phone and its your wife/gf giving u a list of things to do for the rest of the day. That in turn leaves u to completely forget u have pancakes on the fire, thus burning it.

3. About making a normal man look like a celebrity, yeah i can give it to you as your one shining example of how you are blowing Air with your explanation :p

Don't confuse me .. i'm thinking.. i've sent a PM to Rizks and Paaju to help me.

in the meanwhile : Cold air interacts with the skin of the Polar Bear to turn on its cloaking mechnism and turn the hair white. this allows it to blend in with its sorroundings.

Air gets hot and burns the pancakes , thus turning them brown.

This is the term "Air" .. as in He has an air of invincibility around him.. So someone putting on air and graces can come accross as a star.

Air bubbles in a shrink wrap or sqweezing the nose to make your ears pop.

Sorry Brit the AIR part was for you, the Pressure part was for Tallg and the others who mentioned it.

So again now brit tell me how does Air turn a polar bear white? How does Air make pancakes brown? How does Air make normal people look like celebs? How can you Squeeze air to make it pop? can you see air how will you pop?

I wasn't talking about pressure..

I was talking about hot and cold air..

By the way, I didn't Google then, but have NOW :)

Tsk Tsk Brit your not making a very good case with your answer..can i say your just blowing hot AIR out of your arse? lol

I googled it too and its also mentioned that 94% of harvard students couldnt get the answer to this riddle while 80% of KG class students got it after thinking about it for 5 to 6 mins.

"Pressure" is not a word a KG class student completely understands at that age to talk about polar bears and peeing ears popping in airplanes :p

Google search says the answer is NO or PRESSURE.

Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat. Pressure makes you cry if it's too much. Pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee. Peer pressure makes girls comb their hair...Otherwise they wouldn't bother! Celebrities usually crack under pressure. Many normal people will shine under pressure. Pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat. Champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared. If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes. If you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.

Makes sense I guess.

By MissX• 16 Jun 2009 10:18

I'm going with the idea that there is no answer, therefore the answer is No as well. There is nothing in the world that would make someone pop if you look at it, metaphorically or otherwise, so there can't be an answer.

By tallg• 16 Jun 2009 10:13

The answer is no, if you take the last question.

But 'Pressure' can be made to fit to the riddle, as can 'Time'.
