  • the answer is "no"

    it doesn't ask "what am i?" it just asks "can you guess it?" a kindergartener would get tired of figuring it out and say "no" and give up. but a Harvard student is much more arrogant and will struggle with it for long periods of time. It also throws you off by saying college students can get it which makes you think it's very complicated thus the name "the worlds hardest riddle". For all of you morons who think posting bulletins will get you things you're probably the same retards on myspace that were posting "tom's serious" because you thought that would save you from some made-up deletion plan. gullibility filters out the retards

  • I know the answer!!!

    well actually i found it online...

    the answer is.... "pressure" get it?

    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.

    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. for example-> in an airplane your ears pop under pressure!

  • the answer is...

    ... well the Harvard grad would try to give an "answer" ...while the child would make "guesses". Eventually the child would say "that's my guess" or "you asked me to guess" in frustration, thus answering with the right response for "can you guess the riddle?"

    ... the riddle has nothing to do with the question because it didn't ask for the answer...

    • thanks.

      I just remembered what my son always said to me when he couldn't answer a question. I always told him not to guess(which he always did). I actually tried my theory with all his freinds and most of them had the same response ...I just had to regress and think as a child for a moment.

    • think about it

      i know this thing is old but i just found it and think about it this way if the answer to the questions is pressure and the question of the riddle it can u solve it then wouldnt the answer be yes not no

  • You're wrong.....

    Most of you just said time and some of you even found a poem about time, however it still doesn't answer the riddle. The poem states nothing about turning a polar bears fur white. Also how can you squeeze time and make it pop or look and it and you will pop?? I believe the answer we are all looking for is the riddle itself. Like some of you have stated the riddle doesn't ask what am I or who am I, it simply ask "Can you guess the riddle?"...Sure I can guess the riddle because I just read the riddle, as for the answer to the riddle...I don't know you didn't ask me that question.....

    By johnny_long 1168987902 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down
  • Here is the answer that i found searchin...

    TIME
    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.

  • It's air/wind/bubbles

    or some such.

    It's the trapped air in a polar bears coat that makes it look white (their hair is actually translucent)
    A strong wind makes you cry
    A cold wind makes you want to pee
    Or brush your hair
    A wind swept star looks messed up
    A wind swept no body can look kind of classy
    You need oxygen to cook a pancake
    And CO2 to get bubbles in champagne
    bubbles pop
    and you pop if you're looking at your reflection in one

    ?!?!?

    By bobjakes 1167789696 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • you were close

      sunlight (light) gives them their appearance.
      maybe a strong wind does make people cry.
      however, water makes men want to pee (wrong element, my friend) and women brush their hair (maybe after a shower).
      i agree with CO2
      but the biggest give away was the last one which helped me figure this puzzle. le
      i won't give you the answer because i know you can figure it out pay attention to the last riddle. there is another clue but that one would be to easy...

    Why do people try to answer the riddle by changing the words that's obviously not the solution if you have to change the question

    By talon9915 1167720273 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down
  • duh

    the answer is obvious. It's "nothing"

    By talon9915 1167719647 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • it can't be nothing

      because howw can you
      "pop" if you look at nothing and lots of thongs makes guys pee. there is a chemecal that makes champain bubbel.

      p.s. i don't know the answer but if it truely is nothing then it's not the worlds hardest redil but the worlds stupidest.

      By hahaha1 1167725052 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • it still works

      the answer can be nothing, if absolutely nothing in the world satisfies all of those conditions. In other words, there is no answer so nothing can satisfy ALL of the conditions. The riddle asked for what can do this AND that. So even if something can do a and something else can do b, as long as nothing can do both a and b, the condition isnt satisified and the answer is nothing.

    Pressure makes you cry if it's too much.

    Pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.

  • Yeah, I don't think it's no

    Think about it... no seems like a good answer and all, but it doesn't really make sense. Yes the title is Can You Guess This, but why would they make a riddle that's so stupid? I'm sure the answer is time, because, if you seriously stop and think about it, time fits all of them. Yes, even the one about making normal people look like celebrities because once people get old, they all start to look alike in the sense that they get grey hair, liver spots, and what not. So, therefore, I believe the answer to this stupid, time consuming riddle is time.

    The "NO" responses would also be a correct answer to the question: "Can you guess the riddle?" In effect there was no riddle posed. One possible one would logically be: "What am I?" and that would be my GUESS. Now if someone wants an answer to that, I can't help.

  • ICE (possible expalanation)

    Let me try to explain my reasoning.
    1. According to Darwin during evolution process all animals accommodated themselves to their natural environment. Polar bears are white because their natural environment is ice, which is white.
    2. Some people, when is very cold (and icy) have problems with their eyes making tears. It happens to me sometimes too.
    3. Also, if you have experience with kids, sometimes when is cold and they spend long time outside (on ice) they have to go to pee. I am not saying that it is always the case, but it happens quite often.
    4. After taking their hats off girls have to comb their hair. And they had their hats in the first place because of cold weather (when is also icy outside).
    5. Ice is slippery. Everybody, including celebrities looks stupid after falling on a slippery pavement in winter (ice again).
    6. Seeing even ordinary people skating on ice is a nice sight, makes them look almost like celebrities.
    7. Make a pancake and put it in on ice (in the fridge). Wait, say several days. If I remember well they are not looking good anymore, and they slightly change their color, into a sort of brownish.
    8. In the process of making champagne you have to freeze it at some point. My neighbour, who makes wine, once made champagne by accident because it was very cold in his basement that winter, and not yet fermentated wine got frozen (ice formed into his tanks).
    9. Squeeze ice. What happens ?.
    10. Light reflected from ice gets partially polarized. You can find on Wikipedia: …”Snow blindness is a painful condition, typically a keratitis, caused by exposure of unprotected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in bright sunlight reflected from snow or ICE. This is especially a problem in polar regions and at high altitudes…”

    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.

      By vidhow 1167721347 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • An answer i have found

      The Answer Is WORDS!

      If there were no words how could you describe the color of the
      bear? you could turn it into any color with words.

      Words that offend a person can cause you to cry if the words hurt deep enough

      saying water or describing a sound that is like a waterfall can cause a guy to ***.

      If you say a girl has bad hair they would want or could if they had a brush comb it to make it better.

      Words that ruin celebrities lifes can make them look stupid

      describing certain talents one normal person has that a celebrity doesn't makes them better in someway and can make them look like a celebrity

      like the polar bear the word describes what color the pancake is

      words describe what the champane is doing like carbonization

      squeeze me is a tricky one but I believe that if you squeeze "me" as in "words in the poem" and get the answer out of what is written "I'll Pop" meaning you have achieved the answer from the riddle and it is popped as in the answer has been cracked and revealed. The answer metaphorically popped out of the riddle in words.

      If you look at the words in this poem you like a lot of people have said will pop and scream, holler, and lose your sanity out of how easy the answer is and how hard logically it was to solve this riddle.

      Because its hard to solve logically thats why most harvard students couldn't come up with it. However kindergardeners could because of their low vocabulary most would just said "words" because you can describe the riddle using words.

    Lets have an international confernce....

    currently... reading through all this....

    i found out the list of answers which people gave...

    1) "No" - most common, though not good enough
    2) "Time" - bah... cant think that deep so i rejected it
    3) "Words" - too complex i must say...
    4) "O2 and CO2" - real answers worth thinking about... but cant really solve the whole riddle...
    5) "Water" - i have no idea how it can be water...
    6) "Mirror" - (funniest) (rejected since i cant sqeeze a mirror and pop)
    7) "God" - good answer but sorry i dont believe in gods... :P
    8) "Bubbles" - I think is the correct answer... given by someone... but its good.. and realistic..
