I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
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 squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the 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? Just repost this bulletin with the title "The World's Hardest Riddle", and then check your inbox. You'll get a message with the correct answer in it. Good luck!

Second, because you only passed the person in second and not the person in first. You take the place of the other runner :D

No idea, and I hate thoes myspace bulletins :P
Okay.. I've got a pretty hard one, its hard to answer as well to explain. So try to use correct wording when answering, and really try to answer this. Whoever answers it, congrats to you.
You moved into a new house. Its lovely, but you really don't care sense you are so lazy to care. Anyway, one night you want to read a book. You sit on your couch, next to the lamp. It's dark so you reach for the light. Thats when you remember that the switch is downstairs. So you go downstairs and you see 3 switches. Your so lazy that you can only put on 2, at most. Of course, 1 may be necessary.. So how can you figure out which switch it is that leads to the light?
EDIT: BTW, you can ask questions about this one..

either it is one of the ones you switch, or the third 1 u don't, simple

But, how can you narrow it down to just one? You have to figure out which one goes to the lamp, you can't say "its either switch A or B"

Well it would make sense that you dont care which light works anyhow. So you wouldnt even bother flipping any of the switches, the riddle says 1 switch MAY BE neccessary.

be4 i try to answer, is there like any trick hidden deep in this where there is no answer or something, or is it straight forward
Answer:
Turn on the first switch for a few minutes. Turn it off. Turn on the second light. Go downstairs. If the light is on, then the second switch turns on the light. If the light is not on, feel the lightbulb. If the lightbulb is warm, then the first switch turns on the light. If the lightbulb is not turned on or warm, then the third lightbulb turns on the light.
George walked for thirty minutes in the pouring rain without getting a single hair on his head wet. He didn't have a hat or an umbrella and his coat had no hood. How did he do that?

An elderly lady in her 80's goes to the park everyday. She lives on the 5th floor of her apartment and always rides the elevator down to the lobby. When she comes home she always has to take the stairs, except if someone else is using the elevator. If it is raining out however, she rides the elevator back up. How/Why does this happen?
Taz L. Gonzales - March 15, 2007 11:51 PM (GMT)
She's too short to reach the button for the 5th floor. If it rains, she has an umbrella and can use it to push the button.
By the way, she's supposed to take the elevator up to the second or third floor if there's no one else there... makes the riddle seem weirder and people get lost.

A man is lying on a football field, naked with a straw in his hand, and he is dead. How has this happened?
(There are witnesses.
The witnesses are his friends.
He died falling.)
jkurock - March 16, 2007 03:34 AM (GMT)
he was streaking on the field drinking a drink. someone knocked him down and killed him, and drank the rest of the drink without the straw.
the witnesses were the fans
he died falling because he fell during the play
lol, like my guess, lol!

Him and his friends were in a plane and they pulled straws to see who would jump naked out of the plane. This guy lost.

:lol: I can't beilive I got it right.
Here is a easy one:
A first grade teacher is going to play a game with his class. He brings out box of all the basic colored markers. Except he takes out the orange, silver, and purple markers. Why does he need to take those out to play the game?

Its a rhyming game
You are on an island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in a remote part of the country and there has never been a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
Every day a tractor and wagon gives hay rides around the island. Puzzled as to how the tractor had gotten onto the island, you ask around and find out that the tractor was not transported to the island by boat or by air. Nor was it built on the island.
Explain how the tractor got there
jkurock - March 17, 2007 08:01 PM (GMT)
it traveled along the ocean floor. lol (guess)
[EDIT] It was driven over in winter when the lake was frozen.
Wys - March 17, 2007 08:31 PM (GMT)
I think jk's second guess is right.
