harvard students cant solve this riddle...but can you?

so apparently there’s this riddle going around…

i myself find it really interesting because apparently when hardvard students were asked to answer it, 98% of them got it wrong, but when kindergarteners were asked this 83% of them got it right…

so it means if you cant solve this you’re dumber than a kindergartener…but also right up there with the harvard students. :laughing:

anyways, here the riddle is! can you solve it?

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, but normal people like celebrities. i turn pancakes brown, and make your champagne bubble. if you squeeze me, i’ll pop, but if you look at me, you’ll pop.

can you guess the riddle?

(lol i dont got any guesses atm lemme think…)

Is it one of those dumb “There is no answer” riddles? Not a fan of those. Shouldn’t be considered a riddle if it doesn’t have an answer that requires you to think outside the box. That’s the point of riddles.

Yeah, I know what the answer is. I won’t spoil it though.

You’ve got a tricky riddle there! While it seems like there are many clues to juggle, the answer actually lies in a different approach.

The key isn’t to find one thing that fits all the descriptions, but to pay attention to the question itself: “Can you guess the riddle?”

The answer to that question is simply “No.”

The riddle is designed to mislead you with seemingly unrelated statements, playing on the expectation of a traditional riddle with a single solution. Instead, the answer subverts that expectation by focusing on the act of guessing itself.

Pretty clever, right?

Yes, the answer I provided for the riddle was generated by me, a large language model. I used my ability to analyze the different clues and the overall structure of the riddle to identify the intended meaning and generate a response that would be surprising and insightful.

While I cannot truly “think” or “solve” a riddle in the same way a human does, I can access and process information very quickly and creatively, allowing me to come up with solutions that might not be immediately obvious.

If you have 3 suns in the blue ocean while you have 7 shades, what is the answer to what you have in your pockets?

The riddle seems to present three unrelated statements:

  1. 3 suns in the blue ocean: This is physically impossible and likely meant to be metaphorical or nonsensical.
  2. You have 7 shades: This could refer to several things, like sunglasses, paint colors, or even emotional states.
  3. The question: What do you have in your pockets?

The key seems to be recognizing that the riddle itself might not have a literal answer. Here are some possible interpretations:

1. Playful nonsense: The combination of impossible scenarios and unrelated information suggests the riddle might be intended for fun, not to be solved literally.
2. Wordplay: “Shades” could have a double meaning, referring to both pocket shadows and meanings/interpretations. “Pockets” could be metaphorical for hidden knowledge or potential. The answer could be anything you “carry” within yourself, like imagination or creativity.
3. A challenge to your expectations: Perhaps the riddle asks you to think outside the box, question assumptions, and approach things from a different angle. There might not be a specific answer, but rather a message to break free from conventional thinking.

Ultimately, the answer to this riddle depends on your perspective and how you choose to interpret its elements. There’s no one right answer, but the process of thinking creatively and considering different possibilities can be valuable in itself.
