James Langmyer: It disappoints me that that is the answer to the question is 'No' because it asks you if you can guess the riddle. I know stupid, right?But it is advertised '97% of Harvard students get this wrong and 87% of kindergardners get it right'. Well if you told this to a kindergardner and said 'Can you guess this riddle?' , they would say 'No'. And a Harvard student would really try to figure it out and come up with an answer which would be wrong.To me this doesn't really classify as a riddle because the answer really has nothing to do with the 'clues' in the riddle....Show more
