Is Time the answer to world's hardest riddle?

Answer 1

The answer to "the world's hardest riddle" isn’t “No”. I'm at a loss as to how "No" has been accepted and circulated as the correct answer all these years. All riddles have an answer or means to solve them. Otherwise they’re not riddles, they’re a paradox. And, until the answer is revealed, a person is “guessing” at the answer albeit making the best guess possible.

In addition, to say the answer is “No” is a paradox because a kindergartner CAN "guess" or "solve" this riddle AND answer the last question. But let’s reason it through step by step. If the answer to the riddle is indeed “No” and if a kindergartner correctly guesses that “No” is the answer, then the answer to the riddle should be “Yes” because he/she IS ABLE to guess "No" as the answer to the last question. But, if he/she answers “Yes”, sharers of the riddle are saying it’s the wrong answer…another paradox. So the only way to avoid a paradox is to say that “No” is NOT the answer to the whole riddle, only the last question. So, all of those kindergarten students didn’t answer the riddle either, they just guessed or "answered" the last question at the end.

This riddle has been around a long, long time and the kindergartners correctly answered "pressure” because:

“I turn polar bears white” indicates the increased pressure and heat (climate change) that is melting polar ice in the artic (one could also reason that polar bears are under pressure to find food, etc). Pressure makes people cry under stress. Pressure causes the guys to pee. Pressure causes the girls to comb their hair. Pressure causes stress for celebrities and then they’ll behave unwisely. Pressure causes normal people to look like celebrities (e.g. in Game Shows, reality shows, heros on the news, etc). Pressure causes heat which turns pancakes brown. Pressure sqeezes CO2 into a champagne bottle for bubbles. Pressure, or squeezing something like a balloon will make it pop, but If you look at “me” (a pressure measuring device) then you're in an airplance in flight (or other pressurized area) and your ears will "pop".

Can you guess the riddle?

The answer cannot be time - how would you look at time?

The actual riddle is the last line - Can you guess the riddle?

The answer is "No." There isn't really an answer.

Answer 3

No, the answer is Pressure. Pressure applied on your bladder makes you have to pee, pressure from the poles causes polar bears fur to turn white and etc. NOT time.
