Try not to look it up online.... can you figure it out??? Damn near took me 10 minutes.... :lol

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 answer this 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?

Pressure?
Although I can't figure out how it would apply to the polar bear. Hmmm...

The time has come,
winter is here
and those yellow bears disapear.

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 sequal

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 comprehand something so vast.

Apparently my answer was the same as children's ( "no I can't" ) however the 'riddler' had the above in mind.....

I gave up and looked at your answer.

Okay, I'll give you that. Classic riddles are usually impossibly tough. I still think Oedipus had inside info from one of the Sphinx's exes.

And I think the "real" answer is kinda lame. "Makes girls comb their hair"? Come on.

That answer is horse crap. "If you look at it you pop"?

My answer was water.

It turns polar bears white through natural selection. Snow (another form of water) is white and thus made having white fur a form of camo, so bears with white fur were able to flourish in polar areas.

It makes you cry because if you don't have water in your system you can't make tears.

I hope the peeing thing is self evident.

When girls get out of the shower the first order of business is to comb their hair out.

It makes celebrities look stupid (Tom Cruise getting sprayed in the face on the red carpet).

"Normal people look like celebrities"-who hasn't run in slow motion when they were next to the ocean like Hasselhoff?

It can turn pancakes all sorts of colors if you pour some water on it and leave it in the sun.

The champagne thing is a little tougher-is water part of the wine making process?

"If you squeeze me I pop"- bubbles.

"If you look at me you'll pop." (Looking at water can make you need to piss.)

:lol Ok, I think I'm getting stupid. If the answer is "time"....how the hell did 84% of kindergarden kids figure out that as the answer?!
