    I turn polar bears white

    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?

    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.....

    "No" is a good answer to the question.

    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.

    As a reflective response to age...

    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.)

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

    Their answer was "No", to "Can you answer this riddle?", which is a correct response.
