  • Hmmm...? Answer this...

    What kindergarten kid has an attention span of 6 minutes?

    By HeroBoyAME 1167709669
    • Answer is....

      "NO". No I cant guess the riddle, thats the answer. Why do I know this..because I asked my 5 year old kindergarten daughter. She answered, "no" and I went....oohhhhh of course!

      By toothbrush 1168896897
    • No, actually

      The answer isn't "No." You -can- guess the riddle, but you'll be wrong. If a totally impossible riddle is posted with the ending "can you -correctly- guess this riddle?", the answer is of course No. The answer for this one is either 'time' or 'pressure'. Or 'yes'. o.O

    • you know it

      I REALLY hate it when you have to think at all.
      Besides, those kindergarden kids think they know everything, little brats.

      By marisia 1167844465
    • Hmmm

      The answer is of course Coca Cola.

      By Yooka33 1176081669
    • Coca Cola

      That's what I am thinking too.

      By devo2 1218131920
    • My Daughter........

      answers this with "What am I?"
      All it asks is if you can guess the riddle.
      She quickly notice that nowhere does it ask "What, who, which, etc. Am I?"
      Huh, neat.

      By 0okm9ijn 1233030666
  • i got it

    i say a penis, think about it.

    By blackdragon98 1167724060
    • i dont think so...

      ...because i think it matchs everything but the brown pancakes. sooo... idk.

      and kindergardeners dont even know that things is called penis... its wee wee to them... duh

      By screw you 1167726519
    • So....

      "I turn polar bears white", you mean with sperm?

      By SmartJay 1167935221
  • 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

    By Krayze 1167691421
    • way to figure it out

      i say we just kidnap 100 kindergartners and see what 84 of them say, then we'll know

      By jnolte01 1167719384
    • Ummm

      Michael Jackson made this riddle up to lure them in

      By ryan86 1167841120
    • correct

      of course that why it envovles that stuff

      By tac66 1171130085
    • oh yea

      u got dat rite bro!

      By kim_krazy 1169846736
  • 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!

    dude this guy that figured it out is freakin smart!!

    but i'm cool for looking it up...;-P

    • nicee

      i think u right

      By esz 1169828292
    • Sure

      Either that or "God"

      By FutureJet 1255130401
    • yea well

      i dont really think a kindergartener would know wat the word "pressure" means and i dont really see the connection between the word pressure and all the clues

      By CaramelMachiato 1221880758
    • youre wrong

      you are an idiot.
      BLACK absorbs heat

      By lauren8i8 1215106566
    • no actually......

      no actually your the IDIOT because black does absorb heat but......white reflects it. think about that.

      By lvlonsta 1220289571
    • O.o

      It's not pressure.. the answer is time, it makes more sense when you think about it D:

      By Leon-037 1208021331
    • Thats not the answer

      did you read that is says kindergarten studentss got this right kindergarteners don't even know what pressure is

      By laxaholic 1195075125
    • ur right

      it is true

      By luis nava 1192584314
    • Wrong

      1rst Polar bears are white because of Pigmintation. 2nd white reflects heat not absorbs.
      The answer is NO . because they asked "can you solf the riddle?" they did not ask who or what am i.

      By d0lphin.xx 1176696097
    • you must not have done too good in scien...

      You're right polar bears are white because of pigmentation, but that pigmentation was developed do to adaptation having to do with the weather and/or the pressure of their habitat.

      By blakehunter 1178572983
    • listen ur all wrong

      the question the scientist were looking for was no but it wasnt can u solve it it was can u geuss it...the answer is YES i can geuss its not saying im rite but i could geuss any answer for ex.. snow because snow is white and it gets on polar bears they turn white..im not saying its rite but its my geuss and their i guessed the answer...YES i can guess it

      By leonisyuplol 1216702226
    • uh, actually

      polar bears are white for camoflauge and they have black skin to absorb heat.... and kindergardeners would not have answered pressure because they dont know all of that stuff.. they probably dont even know what Champagne is. lol

      and i think the answer is "no" also because they did ask, "can you solve this" and thats probably what a kindergardener would say...

      By brittanycatalano 1184533108
    • not at all true

      in reality polar bear hair is not white, it is clear
      their skin is what is white
      its not pigmentation but the lack of its presence in their har

      By Sd145 1208925156
  • 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...

    By vibr8shun 1167737686
    • You got it

      You're much more intellectual than a Harvard grad

      By Straight Folded 1169001222
    • 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.

      By vibr8shun 1169014564
    • 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

      By redisturbed 1195934616
  • 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 HotMaleFirefighter 1167797786

      I will not tell anyone ...LOL

      By video guy 1167805669
    • ur right except

      the answer is 'yes' as in yes i can guess, not "sure". But i think you are right none the less.

      By Toosh 1167901357

    my anus?

    By johnny_long 1168987902
  • 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.

    The Clock is ticking.......tic toc tic toc

    By nicknayme 1167790034
  • 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
    • 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
  • duh

    the answer is obvious. It's "nothing"

    By talon9915 1167719647
    • 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
    • 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.

    By Lucyyy. 1211617044
  • is it

    Time?

    By flutter 1211301138
  • the answer

    The answer is 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 we 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.

    I guess people guessed it...I wouldve said air......but you are all wrong about the polar bears......my daughter just studied this in class and she is a third grader......polar bear fur is white because the hair folicles are clear and filled with air....and they look white because of the reflection from the snow......I didnt know that until my daughter told me. Crazy! Look it up.

    Answer: HELIUM

    By MaxPaineandCass 1188593766
  • Answer is..

    The question is can you answer it?

    the reason why kindergardens get it most is that becasue they just say no they cant answer it and the hardvard dudes come up with weird answers and they get it wrong

    By cheeseburgerjon 1182650473
  • 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.

    'NO' that was so easy liike if you actually read it, it says the riddle the last line is a part of the riddle and it askes if you can answer it and its impossible so the answer is simply 'NO'

  • no isnt the answer

    the answer is heat.... hot..... heat makes pancakes brown... if your hot then it'll make u look like a celbrity... if ur a celebrity and ur not hot then it makes you look normal.... and if u put someones hand in hot water it makes them urinate.... the answer to the riddle is heat.... durrrr every riddle has an answer and no is not an answer... although some of your recourses may contribute to the answer "no" heat is still the answer....

    By Gevo4Life 1171152438
  • "YES" is the answer

    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…”

    • Read below...

      The question is "Can you guess the riddle?"
      If you can't... answer "NO". hahaha

      By vidhow 1167721347
    • 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.

    • Everyone below who said the answer is si...

      they said no because they noticed the only actual question, or riddle was: Can you guess the riddle? but in fact since that is the riddle you can answer the riddle, so the answer is in fact, yes. think about it as you read all the answers below

      By uhg both of you stfu 1168478304
  • Lets...

    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..

    hmm... lets wait and see if any more answers are coming...

    By yet_another_name 1168325506
    • the answer is fairy

      By perica 1168530841
  • hmm

    the anser could be "me" it looks like it and it is also something stupid that a kindergartener would also say think outside the box

    By mossy181 1167837475
    • Stupid??

      You call the answer that a kindergartener would say stupid??? That is just wrong. my daughter is two years old and she is already smarter than a LOT of people that post comments here on Metacafe....

    • What is the true awnser:)

      Has everyone give up? ... I still wonder if there is a real awnser or was this all for nothing...

      By Video Guy 1169403495
    • the answer

      is yes
      you can in fact GUESS an answer but that doesnt mean it has to be right
      riddle simply asks if you can guess
      which you can

      By Sd145 1208925606
    • I think

      It asks if you can guess the riddle. not the answer. So what's the riddle?
      It's insanely simple once you realize it.
      It's "What am I?"
