The answer is obviously "No" look at the last line, it says "Can you guess the riddle?" if there is another answer idk, but i have a feeling that ur supposed to try and guess an answer and get frustrated not being able to fiure out for sure, which is what makes it a riddle.
My guess would ne nothing
is the answer the sun?
uhhhh
try this one
The time has come, winter is hereand those yellow bears disapear.
The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.
As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begs
As time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brush
As time passesFor those held hightheir end is nigh
As time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequal
As time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughter
As time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fine
As time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.
As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehand something so vast.
The answer is "no"...i asked my brother who happens to be in kindergarten and he said no! the last line in the riddle asked if you can answer the riddle...in my opinion no one can!!! So no is the answer!
the answer is pressure..
haha. the answer is no.
the answer is obviously "NO" and the explanation why the kindergarten can answer compare to those who graduate in Harvard because kindergarten don't think that so much seriously and deeper than the riddle wahahaha lol
Uhhh how can the awnser be no . no doesnt make men pee.
anything above "can you guess the answer" does NOT have ANYTHING the riddle, thus the answer is "no." see? simple.
its, "nothing". that is the answer
the answer is god =] lmaoooooo
it is simple the answer is yes you can gess all you wont it dosent mean your going to get it
and all you have to do is read the last line just read it ''can you guess'' it isent implying enything rash it is just simpaly stright out asking you can you guess if you cant your a robot
either no, or pressure.
think about it.
"THE ANSWER IS NO"
sorry ppl i cant agree on the answer being no.
the wauestion eventually is "Can you guess" .. you can always guess,...?(like the ppl here shoulting Pressure, like that makes polar bears white n stuff.. but its a guess :D)
LMAO i like what robbie said.
yea its dEffintEly god. duh....
the wind
GOOD GAME TARDS
Now, I found a poem that seems to have the answer: TIME. But, I can't seem to find an author for it so I can't be sure if it is legitimate.The time has come,winter is hereand those yellow bears disappear.The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begsAs time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held hightheir end is nighAs time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehend something so vast.
the answer is no. you cant guess the riddle.
isnt it a crayon?
A flash?
Polar bears are not actually white. Their hairs are hollow transparent tubes, similar to a straw. The bears black skin attract the suns heat and her hair help trap the heat
Ok seriously the answer is obviously. Purple freezies! Like how can you not see that... seriously... seriously.. PURPLE F'IN FREEZIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FORGET freezies, time, God, pressure and hwatever else. THE FINAL LINE IN THE RIDDLE: begin quote "Can you guess the answer?"
This line sums up everything above.... so either you can guess up some ridiculous answer and make yourself look like a fool, or accept the fact that the answer is "NO" in response to the final line. GET OVER IT. THE ANSWER IS "NO". ITS NOT COMPLICATED. DONT OVER THINK IT.
PERIOD.
im not kindergarden kid or a grad student but a total stoner and i got that rite away..
NO i can answer the riddle lol
so easy if ur smashed as hahaha :s
I like peas
the answer is.... -->yes you can<--.... YOU are able to guess any answer you wish, whether you choose yes or no, or god, or purple elephants, or whatever you wish.... you are able to GUESS the answer.
the answer to this is time.
pancakes on the griddle too long will turn brown... but looking at time makes you pop? Thats a new one for me
How annoying.. stoopid riddle
The question is Can You Guess The Riddle?
The answer is Yes.
The question is could I be f$%#d
The answer is No.
There is a chance the answer is beauty
turn polar bears white: beauty
and I will make you cry: beauty can be so fascinating it makes some people cry
I make guys have to pee: something so beautiful the guys piss themselves
and girls comb their hair: girls want to be beautiful so they comb their hair
I make celebrities look stupid: real beauty does make celebrities look not so smart
and normal people look like celebrities.: beauty can make normal people look totally outsanding
I turn pancakes brown: it makes the pancake look more tasty, hence the beauty of fresh looking pancakes
and make your champane bubble.: champaign looks more beautiful when it bubbles
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop: beauty will pop(be amazed) when u hold on to it. (eg beautiful things will respond around you if u are beautiful too)
If you look at me, you'll pop.: youll pop(be amazed) when u look at beauty
Can you guess the riddle? just did
:)
Get your shit together it's not hard. It's simply no or yes. One could say no I can't guess it, or one could say yes I can but it won't be correct. All this time and pressure bull shit is wrong. Go find a kindergartener who knows that much about time and pressure. It's not going to be some in depth answer because if it was a Harvard Graduate would answer it correctly, not a kindergarten.
the answer has to be pressure
idk....
what about commercials? they can be about anything and take a long time :-))) so you wanna pee or burn your pancakes
Can you guess the riddle? yes i can guess the riddle. There, I got the answer right. ^_^
Or the real answer could be... ALIENS, yes ALIENS, Any kindergardener would know that aliens could do all that.
the answer has to be paper
lol paper you american moron the answer is no!!!
The answer cant be no unless you have some mental illness that doesnt allow your to guess. The answer is yes, because anyone can guess, even if the answer is wrong.
Come on guys, its pretty obvious that this isnt a real riddle. When was it published and by who, we dont know, some 13 year old could be taking the piss out of everybody. Personally i think its sad that grown adults are wasting there time with this nonsense. Riddles of this type end with what am i, this doesnt, so it cant even be anything, and last time i checked, people didnt write riddles with the answer intedned as no or yes, anyway thanks guys ILY !!!
The answer is H20, which accounts for snow, ice, water, steam... for example, polar bear is actually translucent, its the reflection off the snow which makes them white... men like pissing in the snow, hence the line about making men pee... water messes up girls hair so they have to comb it... if you have a bag of water or steam or something and you squeeze it it'll pop. Pancakes go brown if you pour water on them while they're being cooked, make celebreties look stupid, not too sure but could work with water or something... champenhe bubble?? steam? anyway... my personal opinion on this is that everyone (including myself) wated many pressious minutes of their life trying to work that out... there is no answer...
Yes I can, and it is "I turn polar bears white"
Did I guess the right riddle? Seems so.
Perhaps it should be 'can you guess the bastardized children's poem'? Since one couldn't guess a riddle you can only guess at the answer to a riddle. Since the answer or the the riddle is the riddle itself, and it is know, you can't guess so the answer would be 'NO'. Otherwise, Phil is correct. The 'riddle's' name is "I turn Polar Bears White" Or you can enjoy a reasonably good poem and go back to work:
The time has comeWinter 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 onGirls loose their blush and swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held high their end is nighAs time catches up Everyone is equal when we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour and water, with it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wine into something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeeze the less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has past man cannot comprehend something so vast.maybe there is no answer and it just screws with u. Maybe its like one of those trick things like glow in the dark shadow clocks or striped paint.
It will not be NO. Harvard graduates would not guess at an answer would they? They would say no I have not got a clue. A child on the other hand will have a guess, even if the child has no idea. "Can you guess the riddle" clearly states there has to be a guess so if you say No then you fail.
CHUCK NORRIS
why is everybody saying its yes and no over and over again, somebody says that the answer is no, then like 40 other people read it and say the exact same thing and im sitting here going what the hell
...because there are alot of people guessing wrong answers, which technically is right. ur all technically right becasue u r guessing an answer, though I guess those who guessed yes or no are the ones with the closest answers this is because those who have no clue wat the answer is are correct wen they say no, and the yes people being correct in that way. and just in case some people still don't get it, only answer the last line of the riddle.
I dont think its a real riddle nothing does do all that i assume it is ment to be TIME. time helps make all of those things occur though it can no do it alone such as turn a pancake brown you need heat and time for that to occour. the other answer was light due to light creates all colour thought light cant bubble many liquids especially not champagne. so i think it is a riddle but more a joke and i it is a riddle then the answer is no, i can't guess the riddle because there is nothing that does that.
COME ON GUYS!!, there is no answer!!!, the riddle does not require nor ask for an answer, but rather it is asking for the question, think outside the square. The riddle ends with, can you guess the riddle, not what does all this? or what am i? therefore there isnt an answer
The answer is TIME...

This poem is where the riddle is taken from...it's tried to water down the poem to its simple elements and then make it a riddle and it doesn't really work...but it sounds good which is why people like it. So i guess the answer is time....and the last line should be 'what am I' If not its just a wast of time and the answer is yes or no or what ever who cares...i'm going outside.
can you answer the ridde= nothe answer to the riddle however is not NO
The answer is time polar bear hair is not in fact white but in winter it appears white winter comes every year year equals time! The crying is You watching the world go by and change...equals-TIME fit time throught the rest and you HAVE TIME!!!
The answer is time polar bear hair is not in fact white but in winter it appears white winter comes every year year equals time! The crying is You watching the world go by and change...equals-TIME fit time throught the rest and you HAVE TIME!!!
time doesn't answer the last question, "Can you guess the riddle?"
time does answer the riddle and in that part of *can you guess the riddle* its a waste of *TIME* hehe
I recon the answer is probably something like 'no'. answers such as 'pressure' and 'time' may sound very nice and intelectual... but think about it, would a kid guess that over a harvard student??? of course not, however a kid would guess 'no' by looking at the riddle in the simple way only a kid can.
plus surely if the riddle-maker wanted us to guess what the thing being described is it would have said 'what am I?', however, unlike most riddles, it doesn't, it asks something else entirely
Clearly Chuck Norris would know this
Ah damn this stumped me for ages! What da hell! HAHA!
Pressure?? fistsly you can't look at or squeeze pressure as it has no physical mass. to the guy who said polar bears need to absorb heat so they are white.. black absorbs heat (simply put), not white, white is reflective, and on that note, polar bears fur is not white, each hair is a colourless tube which reflects the light. Pressure does not turn pancakes brown, I don't think if I put a pancake under pressure it would change colour. I agree with whoever said the answer was 'yes' I can guess the riddle. I cannot guess the answer (unless it is 'yes') but then the question at the end doesn't ask me to guess the answer to the riddle, it just asks me to guess the riddle, which in a sense, makes no sense, So I tried to guess the answer, realizing I hadn't been asked to guess the answer..gave me my answer which is yes, I can guess (at) the riddle.
You do realise what youve all been doing, right?
Youve all been guessing the answer to the riddle.
From that, i will "guess" that the answer is whatever you want it to be, because that is what the whole thing is about, "guessing"!!!!!!!!!
The answer beside's God time Energie and the sun is "the circle of life"
The answer beside's God time Energie and the sun is "the circle of life"
like come on the bear fur is white cuz the COL(circle of life)
you cry for the COL so on...
Haha... i was bored and came across this.
I appreciate that many of you have put the answer 'no'. However, surely this is paradoxical. In answering no, ipso facto, you disprove yourself, as you can then answer the riddle.
lol
The answer is NO
Forbes is right, but no doubt this thing'll go on for years with people writing, 'the answer's "No"', "presure", "Time", "willies", history repeats.
...so I think the solution's "Yes", hoorah!
The answer can obviously be anything that you want it to be. It all really depends on your own imagination...obivously as we all grow older our imaginations arent as creative as a kindagardeners. But like i said,it can be really anything that you want it to be whether its time,no,yes,beauty,water...etc. Its your choice.
(hint):Thats why its a riddle.
I HATE GRASS
YOU WERE A MISTAKE!!!
"Time" is the correct answer.
LOL I CREATED THIS RIDDLE. i didnt know it had gone this far. i was bored while reading a book and i came across this
The time has comeWinter 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 onGirls loose their blush and swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held high their end is nighAs time catches up Everyone is equal when we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour Ididntwritethisriddle and water, with it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wine into something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeeze the less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has past man cannot comprehend something so vast.
and ya i simplified it and actually theres no answer to the riddle. what matters is you people think about it and CREATE YOUR OWN ANSWERS... HAHA... GLAD THIS RIDDLE WAS HERE.:D
Personally, I would say the answer is yes.. because I think the answer is 'pressure'
Reasoning:Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.If theres to much pressure, you can cry.The pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.Peer PRESSURE pressures girls to comb their hair, otherwise, why would they do it?Celebrities normally crack under peer pressure.Lots of normal people will shine under pressure.Pancakes turn brown because of the pressure generated by the heat.Champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, it goes.If you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.
* I'm not really 100% sure if the answer is correct - Polar Bears may be be white due to evolutionary pressure
i seariously think that the answer is the sun but who the heck wrote this riddle? that way we can ask them
This riddle is stupid
it is a chain mail letter and there is no answer
this riddle was made up so ppl would keep on fowarding it
there are not studies that show the 97% nor the 84%
this is stupid and some kid in arizona probably made this up
dont waste ur time b/c this dumb and stupid
THE F***ING ANSWER IS YES. CAUSE EVERYBODY CAN GUESS THE RIDDLE THERE ARE NO DEFINITIVE ANSWERS, ONLY THE FACT THAT YES YOU CAN GUESS THE RIDDLE.
THE ANSWER iS TiME!!!!!
The reason 84% KG kids got this one right is cuz they said ..."No, we cant guess the riddle"obviously the Harvard students didnt say "No" cuz they tried to figure it out somehow...
Your eyes.
This is not a Riddle. Riddles are questions with veiled aswers. If the question is unanswerable it is called a dilemma. A question with multiple possible answers is called a horned dilemma. Thus, this is not a riddle but a horned dillema.
Semantically the question is missleading!
The answers are "NO", "YES", "MAYBE", "FUCK YOU", "YO MOMMA", and all types of possible answers to yes/no questions.
You guys are just making geniuses outta yourselves and no, IT DOES NOT WORK.
Sometimes, you don't have to think through everything.
Because the riddle itself is disregarded as the question "Can you guess the riddle?" is asked.
Oh! But then again, the answer may be "Yes, I could guess the riddle" and then recite the riddle itself all over again sans the question.
CASE CLOSED.
yeah im agreeing with th ose of u who said the answer to the riddle is actually only to the question "can u guess the riddle" it is just one of those things that people put into riddles, just like whats you name...oh can you spell it, but they dont want u to spell ur name but just simply spell IT, its ingenius really, and it explains y kindergardeners can answer it, simply by giving up and saying "no i cant get it"
uhhhh
try this one
The time has come, winter is hereand those yellow bears disapear.
The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.
As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begs
As time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brush
As time passesFor those held hightheir end is nigh
As time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequal
As time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughter
As time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fine
As time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.
As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehand something so vast.
^ Haha yes because i've heard tonnes of kindergarten children who would be able to come out with that...
It has to be no
I've been looking around for an answer to this riddle/dilema/horned dilema for , ooooh about 10 minutes now! and i have come up with this.
I dont know, neither do you! the only person who knows is the twat that wrote it! seems more likely to be yes/no than anything else, but the time poem theory holds a good weight. some bloke on here said he wrote it and i think that must be(at least partially) true. Someone thought of a silly rhyme and then went, ooh that sounds like a good riddle, lets post it out to everyone i know but make it look like a fwd! three days later you have the whole computerised world (about 3% of the poulation or there abouts) having massive conversations like this, doesnt it make life interesting!! (and the reason harvard students wouldn't get it is twofold - the harvard lot would go on and on about metaphisics or some such bull which is not the answer or nowhere near and the kds would just guess! the other reason - they probably did not actually test any damn harvard students or flamin kids!
Now all of you, turn your damn computers off and go and spend time with your kids/parents/brothers/sisters/loved ones, they are far more important than chatting about a riddle like this!
i hate grass too
and my mamma may think i was a mistake, but yours made very different noises while i was doing her up the wrongun last night!
my guess is time, or water. in one way or another, water could burn pancakes XD:P
Just ignore the whole load of crap at the top about polar bears and stuff. Its nothing to do with it that much was obvious from the start. The only question asked is in the last line. As far as my research as led me to believe so far this was devised as a social experiment by Harvard and they probably just got all the rubish at the start from that poem that everyone is talking about, but it does't have anything to do with it. They wanted to see how people would react when trying to find an answer when there isn't one. Obviously the kids they asked took it simply but everyone else seem to be over analyzing it way too much. For me the only possible explanation/answer to "Can you guess the riddle?" is "no".
in all logical senses, the construct of such a riddle should close with the statement " what am I?" Instead the final words of the riddle deviate and ask an open ended, meandering question about the riddle itself. Thus, the creative thought process of the riddle should be broken. and a new set of thinking established. This is why the answer should be "no" as its a typical respons for a child that does not understand a solution.
When i was reading it i kept thinking WATER.Water makes polar bears white. (cause it cleans them when they're dirty.)And it is what we cry..(i think)It does make guys pee when they drink it.If a girls hair gets wet she'll comb it.It makes celebrities look stupid cause there 4 billion layers of makeup runs.Makes normal people lok like celebrites cause when they're wet they look like porn stars. lolIt turns pancakes brown because if there is any water in a pan it makes whatever your cooking burn. Or at least turn brown.Makes your champane bubble.. this one im not sure.If you sqeeze me ill pop.. unsureIf you look at me, youll pop (ACID WATER) just kidding. i am unsure about this one. So im not saying its right or anything... thats just the first thing that came to mind.
i like the "NO" answer but i am also drawn to either "HEAT" or "OXYGEN". I am done and putting this to rest i can't take it anymore i'm going to slash up!!! LOL
I accept that people are saying the answer is no because it sort of makes sense. But using this very same logic, the answer could also be yes!!! It says can u guess, my answer is yes i can, whether my guess is right or not is another matter.
the answer to this is pressure.im not a harvard student and im not in kindergarden
Temperature?
ummm any one think of heat
Heat Doesn't Make You Brush Your Hair!!!You Don't Stare at Pressure and Pop!!Beauty Doesn't Make You Pop!& it Cannot Be No Because You Can Always Answer Weather it Be Correct or Not =]
time you nerd the answer is time god if you could just wrap your little pee brains around it we wouldn't be having such a problem with this...
How can you squeeze time and pop it? and how can looking at time make you pop? you can't even physically look at time. time is a good answer for most of it though.
it cant be "no" or "nothing"... "nothing" doesnt make men pee... "nothing" doesnt make people cry... pancakes turn brown because of heat, not "nothing" champaigne bubbles because of.. well.. I dont know... but it sure isnt "nothing
Where in the hell does it ask you for the answer to this riddle, people? It asks - "can you guess the riddle" Sooooo, can you guess??? yes or no!
What a waste of time
Okay, It's not even asking what the answer is... Can you guess the riddle
- Yes I can. It's the hardest one in the world
well I had this sent to me on Facebook and was curious about the answer and ZOMG I had no idea there was such a huge massive debate on a crappy riddle.. I have to say some of the answers are quite humorous i.e Chuck Norris, though of course he would know I mean c'mon he is God.. apparently don't know myself never heard of the guy.. either way I would have to say the answer is...
yes you can answer me, no there isn't a true answer now get on with your lifes you sad bastards :-)
water bar the look at me you will pop dont get that one but snow settling on polarf bears could turn them white, works for crying, water makes guys pee, rain mkaes women comb hair water with sugar makes pancakes brown works for the champagne bit, squeeze a buybble and it pops its what my little borhter guessed and he is 3
i thought it wud be water as snow is water an thats y a polar bear is white an it makes women comb their hair as makes it wet an makes guys pee etc, but maybe the answer is no lol
its my undies..... i have magical undies that can do all those things!! come check them out someday, your all invited
i just wanted to no the answer
now i know there is none i can move on unlike some ppl on this page
um yeh cos time makes normal people look like celebs
any day now for me
Its Air
The answer can't be frigging "no".
Anyone can GUESS a riddle since guesses can be incorrect, but saying "yes" is already a guess rendering the guess to be true=/.
Or ignoring the last line answer is most likely pressure.
When I read it I thought one of two things.
1) There is no answer and the sole aim of the riddle is to frustrate people.
2) The answer is 'God'.
:D
You guys don't analyze that LAST LINE enough. Can you guess the riddle??? OF COURSE YOU CAN...U dont necessarily have to get it right but u can guess. That is the only question it ever asks so that is the only one you have to answer.
Water, Time, Beauty, Crayons, Something all fit as answers. I think there is a number of answers that could be created.
The chicken came first!

THE ANSWER TO THIS RIDDLE IS TIME... THE REASON I KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE THE RIDDLE WAS MADE FROM A POEM ABOUT TIME..... I DINT REALISE THIS AT FIRST BUT I AVE KNOWN THIS POEM FOR A LONG TIME.. SO THERE YOU GO THE REAL ANSWER................. TIME LOL

The answer is "time"
Time'
The time has come, winter is here and those yellow bears disapear. (...I turn polar bears white )
The time has past as man looks back with a sigh and a tear in his eye. (...and I will make you cry.)
As time is held boys cross their legs but of course the toilet begs (...I make guys have to pee)
As time marches on Girls loose their blush and swap a comb for their brush (...and girls comb their hair.)
As time passes For those held high their end is nigh (...I make celebrities look stupid )
As time catches up Everyone is equal when we get to the final sequal (...and normal people look like celebrities.)
As time turns Without it we have flour and water With it we have breakfast for my daughter (...I turn pancakes brown )
As time revolves How does one turn water and wine into something so fine )...and make your champane bubble.)
As time runs out The more in a minute you try and squeeze the less you can do with ease. (...If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. )
As time ticks All the time that has past man cannot comprehand something so vast. (...If you look at me, you'll pop. )
How about this for a PROPER riddle:
It's greater than God
It's worse than the devil
Rich men want it
Poor men have it
And if you eat it, you'll die...
WHAT IS IT?
I think this really is the one that kindergarten kids get and Harvard students don't...
And the answer to the PROPER riddle is...
NOTHING
Well if 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, then the answer doesnt need much thought, its just needs a spontaneous answer, and kids find it very easy not to give it much thought and say "NO" while harvard students will hang on to the pride and give it their best to find some logical answer which cannot be found... so LOGIC answers the question without giving it so much thinking... its a NO

Well the answer "Nothing" also makes sense...
THE ANSWER MIGHT BE TIME!!!!!!!!...........think about it...it makes sense.....
by the way i got into cornell so i better be right!!
Im sorry to tell u this anish but, from the riddle, you cant "SQEEZE" time, and suppose you can, it wont "POP". Besides, kidergarten will not say time!!!!
Wouldn't the answer be YES?
The question is "Can you guess the riddle?" Not can you answer the riddle. Yes you can guess. That is the question right?
the answer would be yes or no
probarbly yes
because a kindergartener couldnt think of complex solutions like pressure, time or beauty.
simple as that
OK figured it out.
The answer is yes or no as many people suggested. The thing is that the Harvard graduate would not be able to guess it because I hope they wouldn't want to make stupid guesses and be wrong. So they would say "I can't guess it" whereas the kids would say: "Yes I can guess it! Its (-something stupid-). Since everyone is able to make a guess the correct answer is YES.
Lmao. Of course the answer is yes. If the answer is no, then how did 84% of kindergarteners guess the answer... If those 84% said no, then their answer is wrong, because they were guessing the answer is no, which means that "YES" they could guess the answer. They just guessed it wrong. You guys who think the answer is no (and that goes for all of you 5 year olds!) are retards!
Riddles are bullshit! Time is the correct answer, and the riddle is based on that poem, but it's deceitful, as most riddles are. A riddle is supposed to be something you could actually figure out. But the way this one is worded makes it a trick cause you can't figure it out. Also, saying that kindergarten kids can figure this out while clever people can't is also deceitful cause not many kids would say the answer is time based on that riddle. Riddles are bullshit and make idiots like us sit and talk about something that has an answer but is cleverly worded so as to mislead the reader.
i just got this riddle on facebook. i agree with the person who said the answer was no. i mean really the whole rest of the riddle isnt asking anything so it would makes sence for the last line to be the question. Btw, whoever thought of beauty is pretty creative
but of course the answer could be yes if you think you can guess
Whoever thought of beauty was probably stoned. How can beauty turn pancakes brown.
And those who insist on it being time are just as stupid, how can time pop if you look at it.
Nice try guys, but it definitely is neither time nor beauty. The answer is always yes.
Okay well it took me like a month to figure it out, i tried everything than my lil sister said the amswer was no.
so there for it is No. cause it is the only thing that makes sense right now lol,
well its what ever we choose it to be....or 42 take your pick i got more
"champane" is spelled wrong in the riddle...is that a hint or a mistake?
"champane" is spelled wrong in the riddle...is that a hint or a mistake?
you guys analyze that last line too much, it is a simple question that wants to give the correct answer. all that crap about, 'its yes' or 'its no' made me laugh.
the answer is time, the riddle is part of a poem created by Hugo Bulgakov, an english student from Harvard.
The time has comeWinter 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 onGirls loose their blush and swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held high their end is nighAs time catches up Everyone is equal when we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour Ididntwritethisriddle and water, with it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wine into something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeeze the less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has past man cannot comprehend something so vast.
omg.. who said CRAYON!? wtf? ahaha
ok, pressure doesnt make girls comb their hair... the clues dont like together. its al oad of mumbo jumbo thats there to throw you of track. the answer is in the Simple, Grammatically correct QUESTION at the END!
answer it... you have your completed riddle. Bless you all for you Spak-Tard answers. LOL
The answer is PHOTOSHOP SOFTWARE
the answer is: "the weird, distorted, ugly and sometimes funny bubble called life". just fit the phrase in for every line. it works.
and i think the statistics are fake
The riddle is made from a well known poem about the passage of time. The answer to the riddle is "Time". 'No' and 'Yes' etc are not the answer to the riddle.
ACTUALLY TO THE LAST "GUESSER" POLAR BEARS' FUR TURNS YELLOW WITH TIME, NOT WHITE!
I know that its from a poem which submits the answer as "time". However the writer of the poem put a few linesin that make time an incorrect answer. Time does not turn pancakes brown. Heat over time does. Time does not pop. Therefore a better answer is actually the "SUN". Not to mention the bogus statistics make this riddle a waste of TIME.
Although there are numerous reasons you can derive yourself, the main reason being nothing on this planet would exist without the sun, as the earth would not be here without it. So the SUN makes all of those items possible. But to expand on the idea...
I turn polar bears white - Without the SUN, all would be black.
and I will make you cry. - Crying is so general there are a million reasons someone could cry. Not withholding SUN poisoning, and or SUN cancer make me cry.
I make guys have to pee - Hmmm... the SUN makes you hot, so you drink water, and pee ???
and girls comb their hair. - Girls gotta look good when they go to the beach to lay in the SUN.
I make celebrities look stupid - Use Google images and search for the celebrity George Hamilton.
and normal people look like celebrities. - A good tan from the SUN makes you look hot like a celebrity.
I turn pancakes brown - If the SUN can be hot enough to fry an egg, I'm sure it could cook a pancake too.
and make your champane bubble. - I pop a bottle of champagne to celebrate lots of things, I'm sure somebody is celebrating summer with a glass of (the correctly spelled) champagne.
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. - We all know the SUN is due to pop (super nova) because of the squeeze of time and pressure.
If you look at me, you'll pop. - We all know that staring at the SUN is bad, do it too long, and watch your skin pop right off.
Can you guess the riddle? - Thanks to the SUN and the photosynthesis that goes on in the plants that feed me, I can.
never mind the answer lets lynch the numpty who posted it and then we can all do something more important for today like get out and meet some non virtual friends
How do you squeeze time??
I thought It might have been water, but i'm stuck on how you look at water and pop!!
are people stupid or summit its the "BRAIN"
I turn polar bears white
the brain interprets what you see
and I will make you cry.
your emotions come from your brain therefore it can make u cry
I make guys have to pee
the brain makes guys have to pee when they need the toilet sends signals alsoo
and girls comb their hair.
futhermore girls brain are inclined to brush their hair
I make celebrities look stupid
what you think can change the way someone looks
and normal people look like celebrities.
the brain can interpret they way you look at someone and there for u may look at them like a celebritie
I turn pancakes brown
your mind interprets what your eyes see
and make your champane bubble.
same again
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
if u squeezed your brain it would probably pop
If you look at me, you'll pop.
and you cant look at your own brain inside as u can turn your eyes into the back of your head so you would pop
Your all morons... the answer is no.

Time is the answer
ppl no is the correct awnser
clearly the answer is God. For obvious reasons (of fantacising that thay are God and having no other way to explane the universe except evolution), the university students will not answer "God". However the kndergardener (still being nurtured and read stories by their parents) would be more likley to answer "God" because humans are designed by God to beleve in God. .... ... shit i only googled this riddle to find the answer after someone sent it to me on facebook ... i guess its far simpler than i thought.
The actual question at the end is "can you guess the riddle?" In this case the "riddle" that would correspond with all these statements is "What am I?".
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
"Can you guess the riddle?"
No/Yes
The answer...
I think the answer is (Water). It makes sense for all but a few lines which I think is crap.
it's no... riddles don't usually have that question at the end
i think that crayon is a lagitiment answer. everything can be put into a drawing. and a kindergardener would think of a crayon because they use those dayly.
but i also think that no is a very good answer, because a haverd graduate would not think of that, but i do think a kindergardener would think of no, because they wont go back and think about all of the details like an adult would.
its gotta be crayon, or no. thats what i think. <3
The answer is obviously skateboard...
Buncha noobs!
Its shampoo...
Think about it ...carefully.
Its shampoo...
Think about it ...carefully.
You'd make a polar bear white by washing him.
If you get it in your eye, you'll cry. Most guys (nasty but true) pee in the shower.
Girls have to comb their hair after washing it.
Celebrities look stupid on those infernal shampoo ads on tv but
normal people look good if they wash their hair and shine up a bit.
If you're in the shower and forget the pancakes on the stove, they'll burn.
If you throw shampoo in champagne it'll foam like hell.
If you squeeze a bubble of shampoo foam it'll pop,
if you look at the bubble you'll see your reflection and it'll pop eventually.
Just a thought. :)
isnt it possible that there is no answer and someone just made up a bunch of random lines to make people like you all think about it for so long and waste so much time?
The answer is obviousely YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why wouldn't you be able to guess the riddle!, The irony is that all of you are write.... even by guessing No you have successfully guessed! Any other answer exists therefor translating to the final question rather than a result derrived from the innitial set of statements! Thus confirming the answer to the actual question!.... The riddle is one to be oserved upon and the reason children are so successfull is their attentiveness to the finality of the riddle and lack of attention to the obselete sequence of random statements before.....
P.S. Polar bears are not white.... The white you see is defracted light from the transparent hair affected by the sun and snow..... none of which make champagne bubble but only act as a catalyst!
tucco@hotmail.co.uk,
Any more send to this address
I'll also commend 'DR.T' for his prognostication..... He is thinking within the box...however his box is filled with brilliant thoughts!
pressure makes a girl comb her hair does it :S its obviously NO!Whats greater than god!more evil than the devil!the rich want it!the poor have it!NOTHING!
mothernature
first i thought time, then no, then yes i read all your comments .even more fkn confused by now. so i asked my five year old. he just looked at me like i was a dickhead and walked away. maybe we all should have
Its lifted from an original poem which is talking about time :)
For all this day, of wandering flight, of half remembered woollen light
A twist, a bend, a portaled wall, a spark of guilty conscience there
No whispered dream, no speckled stair
Down there at daylight's edge of dawn
the weather?
Didnt read all the comments, so....is it AIR?
it doesnt actually matter!
give it a rest.
you lot have been talking about a bloody riddle for 5 bloody months.
the answers time btw :p
Also, having read through all the posts, I am clearly most impressed by the angle that Chris Thomson and the boys from Qc-01 AVW Telav tried
"I think the answer is (Water). It makes sense for all but a few lines which I think is crap."
Not only is it the answer of a great thinker, but of a rebel too!
urg you guys are so stupid the answer isnt no
its god
most students in harvard arent vary religious most of them are brains and believe in science they would geusss pressure (science)
the real answer however is god/mother nature because that plays a big part in kingergarten life and u no they still say thanks and stuff and they are very religous (in a strage kid way) most of them would guess god. most harvard students wouldnt think about a religous or mythical answer they would base it on fact and theory that has been proven.
This is a yes or no question. Most riddles will ask you afterward, "What am I?" The question then implies that one must guess what fulfills the criteria in order to answer the riddle. This riddle, however, simply asks "CAN you guess the riddle?" This is a yes or no question. It does not actually ask you to solve it. It simply asks if you can. Whether or not you can solve it is completely irrelevant. The questions simply asks IF you can. So is it yes or no? Well....you can decide that.
FROM THE DICTIONARY --- GUESS: To form a correct estimate or conjecture of; to estimate or conjecture correctly.
So, if I asked you to guess my age, i wouldn't say you were correct until you guessed the right answer. You could say 50, and although that may be a good guess, it is incorrect.
So, the very first question the riddle asks "CAN YOU GUESS THE ANSWER?" That would be a NO. The last question, "CAN YOU GUESS THE RIDDLE?" is re-phrasing the first question. So the answer is still NO, not yes, or god, or pressure, or air or time.
Do any of you actually have children?? No matter how religious, very few will answer GOD. An adult will think through each line and try to deduce an answer that will fit all or most of the scenarios; however, a child will listen to that whole verse and will answer the question that was asked... "Can you guess the answer?" And the child will answer no, and then look at you like you're the retard.
Some of you are just so frustratingly embarrassing. Calling people stupid and twisting things around to fit it to your liking... lol.
I've just read ALL the above comments. It's sent me through a time warp and now I'm twice as old as when I started. I'm now half mad! I think I'll look again in three weeks, so I can finish the treatment off and go completely bonkers!
I love some of the comments. My favourites were the "Aliens" and "shampoo" ones and, best of all "I like grass says: I hate grass".
And it's fascinating to see how many people haven't read all of them and end up just saying the same things that have been said over and over again. Love that poem that's come up about seven times. There must be a million comments up there, but half of them could have been from clones of the same five or so people. Or maybe they were in fact five people who'd gone half mad like me and were repeating themselves by entering the same thing again and again.
A polar bear went up to the bar and said, "I'd like a pint of beer and ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... a packet of peanuts." And the barman said, "Why the big pause?"
time is the answer
I'M DUMB!!!! I spent like 5 minutes thinking about this and i came up with time the sun and whatever else is good and retarted. Then i read it again and was like, oh, they are really only asking one question, can you or can you not guess the ansswer. So yes i can guess it but will it be right... no. Hmmmmm, being that kindergardners got this right i really don't know. But maybe i am just overthinking it. but wow, pressure? WTF is wrong with you people? First of all that answers a few of them but not really that many, but ask a kindergardner what he/she or heshe thinks pressure is and they will look at you like you asked an MIT graduate what the square root of an apple is. I'm dumb but not that dumb!
The answer must be "The world's hardest riddle", because the riddle is speaking in the first person.
Whoever said "The answer must be "The world's hardest riddle", because the riddle is speaking in the first person." is so retarded. david, no offence...but you have to be an extreme nerd to think that! The answer is no! And pressure! You cant "look" at pressure and pop! You people are so dumb. Anyone who said the answer is "no", is correct!
Everyone else...No comment.
you people make me mad!
"A Polar Bears fur is actually clear. The sunlight bends in it turning it a glowing white and its skin is actually black to absorb heat. So the only thing that can make a polar bear white is the light which would make answering this poem impossible since light does not fit anywhere else in any of the other questions. Problem solved. Whomever made the riddle is an idiot. " First off...The guy who said that is in fact dumb. It is a riddle...not a fact. Let's all just get off the whole polar bear turning white thing. THE ACTUAL QUESTION IS..."CAN YOU GUESS THE RIDDLE?" So being that I know what the answer is...would you all belive it even if I told it to you? Ok drumroll.....THE ANSWER IS:... "YES but not correctly" Suck on that bitches!!!
What about the Universe or Everything????
people the anwser is no not pressure or time a bunch of kindergarteners would not say pressure or time they don't say what is the anwser they ask can you guess the riddle
ok, I am the master riddle guesser... and guess what?
as M and Clifford said earlier, only Chuck Norris would know the answer.
why?
Because he is above all
The answer is: a bunch of stuff
the answer is: 1 l0v3 93iv15
the answer is: 1 l0v3 93iv15
It's Penis
Only Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris would know the answer
Why is 'Becky' so het up over this? Calm down woman!
'Pressure' doesn't make sense as the answer to all of the conditions given. I'm going to also say the answer is 'no' just for my own peace of mine :)
..That, or Chuck Norris.
This isnt the orginal way that it was written, the orignal one was written without a question mark so it said "Can you guess this riddle" so you cant answer it because it isnt even a question....some of you put WAY to much thought into this
the answer is anus
A more in depth answer is transcience... the passing of time!
But time cannot be touched, it is abstract; this riddle speaks of time as if it is a being or a thing, a concrete object... that is why it is so difficult to crack it.
I don't know if thats what a kindergarten kid or a toddler would say but it does fit all elements of it.
the is indeed NO...this is what the junior children would have answered.
It have a double meaning though...check it out:
When you take a closer look NO in reference to the periodic table it is the scientific acronym for Nitric Oxide.
Google Nitric Oxide and see how it reacts in various situations...i hope the answer is now clear.
My poo is soft.
so is mine gogz
Do you really think somebody did this research on Harvard students?!?!? Yeah, right!
Definitely Chuck Norris.
Good work people, time well spent.
It's a paradox and there is no correct answer really..if the riddles correct answer was "No", then by answering "No" you successfully solve the riddle, so'Yes' you can guess the riddles answer..but you can't answer yes because there is no solution. Maybe the correct answer should be "Who Cares."
chuck norris
This is stupid.
its ur mom cus she's a witch so she can turn polarbears white, she makes u cry when she grounds you for steelin that car, she makes guys have to pee with her syphalys, she naggs ur sister to comb her hair cus she looks like miss frizzle, she's always saying that celebrities are all skanks and she always has her friends over for makeovers, she turns pancakes brown when she cooks me breakfast, makes ur champane bubble i think is obvious, squeez em too hard and the implants pop. look at her i think is also self explanitory
no one here gives kids enough credit
ur mom is the funniest one yet tho...
meanwhile WTF its time and when you cry next or pop/die, etc you'll know it too.
bubye
Oh my, so many answers...
The answer is temperature. Temperature can either be hot or cold... using pressure to compress heat can result in combustion. Looking at intense heats can make you "pop". RIDDLE SOLVED BITCHES
null answer
nothing fits, the dumb kids 'get it' by answering "no" when asked if they know the answer
it's kind of lame, and induces lame people to waste time talking about it, including myself
oh well, at least something got us interacting with one another
I am 15 years old i believe it would be pressure?
Chuck Norris already said NO. And i believe in Chuck Norris.
THE WORLDS HARDEST RIDDLE I turn polar bears whiteand I will make you cry.I make guys have to peeand girls comb their hair.I make celebrities look stupidand normal people look like celebrities.I turn pancakes brownand make your champane bubble.If you sqeeze 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 forward this with the title "The World's Hardest Riddle", and then check your inbox. You'll get a message with the correct answerin it. Good luck
The answer is "nothing"
this riddle has been posted on both facebook and myspace for the past 2 years and in it it says if you repost this the answer will be sent to your inbox. so you go and repost it and what did you all get in your inbox "NOTHING" that is the anwser. it is simple enough for a kindergarden student to answer and hard for a Harvard graduate becouse they look too deep into the riddle for a reasonable answer
The answer my friends...
is MAGIC!!!
C'mon people, the answer is sooooooooo obvious! ------
It's: CINDERELLA SMOKIN' WEED.
It's the answer that fits every question, including the last.
obviously, the answer is no.... as god knows how many ppl have stated!
but as the riddle was whipped from a poem about time, it must be logically, time if it were a true riddle (i.e, with the sentance 'what am i' at the end). every1 has been lookin 2 deep in2 it. i do like shaun's answer; brain, tho!
music or song
Eh.. if the answer is "no", then you can answer it, and if you can answer it, the answer should really be "yes" ..but once you then say "yes" then your answer is wrong because you don't actually know it, and then you are back to square one...
It would be hilarious if it was true, but it doesn't really make sense..
surly the answer is 'yes' not 'no' the last line reads, 'can u guess the riddle' the answer is yes because any1 can quess the answer. like people saying the answer is pressure or wind, that is just a guess so in answer to the last line it is ultimatly 'yes' as any1 can guess. :)
pimples
All of those who think the answer is "no" seem to be forgetting two things. Firstly that the last sentence "can you guess the riddle" doesn't appear in all versions of this riddle and therefore was probably never part of the original text. Secondly, where do we get the statistics that Harvard Graduates couldn't seem to guess correctly and that kindergarten kids could. Surely if there were to have been a social experiment with this riddle there would have been a correct answer somewhere and with all of the forums and interests that this mystery has created, someone would have uncovered the official answer. I think that either the expression "if you look at me you'll pop" either has a double meaning or that there never was an answer and this has been created purely for entertainment purposes.
the answer to can you answer the riddle is yes, and the over all answer to the riddle is time.
turn polar bears white, they appear white only in winter when the hollow hairs reflect the snow, in the usmmer they are yellow, thus time makes polar bears white.
and I will make you cry. at some point in your life there will come a TIME that you cry.
I make guys have to pee, sooner or later we all gotta pee.
and girls comb their hair. as your hair gets thinner through age, you see more and more people using comes rather than brushes, girls will eventually age because of time and begin to comb their hair.
and so on and so on, the riddle is based on a poem about time as someone already pointed out.
i would love to see the reference to the original article in which we can view the credentials and validity of the person making the claim referring to kindergarten students and harvard graduates.
for all of you saying the answer is no, a riddle always has an answer, the answer to the riddle can not be "no I can't solve it" no riddle in the history of the world has ever had the answer "no the riddle can not be answered"
you're all a bunch of wankers the answer is clearly cat food!!! if you feed a polar bear cat food it will be so sick it will turn white......if you put cat food in your eye it will make you cry....if your put cat food in your japs eye it would make you pee......if you got it in your hair you would want to brush it....
DOES
i read so much of the same shit till i got fed up and then i saw i wasn't even a quarter of the way down the page.. id like to say something really intellectual like: naturally the answer is the theory of relativity. i think the problem is that people cant just let something rest they always need an answer, if there is no answer then there is no answer, and if there is then i dont know it, yes, no, to much time and pressure breathe and let it go

i concur with redman
a riddle a riddle a ree
i see a fat man pee
he pee so fast
he make me laugh
a riddle a riddle a ree
can kelvin plz tell me the f**ing answer!!
At first swag I thougt it could be either water or air; but alas neither were capable of all, and nothing else is even close.
The answer is "no". Why not possibly "yes", because the question is not "can you guess", it is "can you guess the riddle" which implies a successful guess, not just any guess. Moreover, the final line is the not the most significant, the riddle is exactly as impossible as the final line explictly requests you to determine.
Final answer? Yes, c'est non!
We had to study this at uni. and the answer is, "no". the reason all the harvard people got it wrong is because they believed that there would have to be a deeper complex meaning, but no. kindergardeners echoic memories are more dominant than any other, and they remember what you say as you say it. so when the last thing they hear is "can you guess the riddle", they kknow that the answer is no.
the answer cant be 'no' coz if it is then u are answering the riddle? so the answer has to be 'yes'
The answer is time.
The time has come, winter is hereand those yellow bears disapear.
The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.
As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begs
As time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brush
As time passesFor those held hightheir end is nigh
As time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequal
As time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughter
As time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fine
As time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.
As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehand something so vast.all this talk makes me want to go smoke some bongs
lets go to the kitchen and smoke some spots
While the answer is no, I did think of two rather good ones before I realized that-- first time, and second photoshop; not for all of them, but hey.
'no,' though. bloody genius riddle, that.
This riddle is contraversial, the answer is anything, No, Time, Nothing. its like this riddle.
What is Greater than God
Worse than the devil
The rich want it
The poor have it
And if you Eat it you will die?
Answer is nothing, and once again kinde kids get the answer right cause they dont think logical or in 3d mode, they see a simple flat plain and their answers are correct. Go ahead ask one.
The answer is "something" and the answer is definately not "no". if i said to everyone...."does 1+1=2?" and asked, can you guess this riddle? if you said no...then you are wrong..... "no" does not turn pancakes brown.
i was thinkin it might be Imagination. since its possible to do all of da following with one's imagination.
It's 'no'... stop trying to answer each question with no. It's supposed to be one big riddle with one answer...So the answer is no. Not something. Can u guess this riddle? Answer: Something.. uh no. it's no.
th answr is doppelgangers..i soo cant believe noone got that.lol
answer 'yes' fits here as well, since its not asking 'can you know the answer' but 'can you GUESS..' , so everyone can guess whether the answer is wrong or right. ;)
Hello....the answer has been said several times allready and you're all still posting moronic comments...PRESSURE...PRESSURE....PRESSURE! Idiots! (Except the actualy intelligent people that have said it)
for the last time, the answer is no
it's not 'time' time doesn't pop when you squeeze itit's not 'pressure' pressure doesn't make polar bears turn white or pancakes turn brown.
it's the 'hardest riddle' because it's a trick one, riddles usually end in 'what am i?' but this one ends in 'can you guess the riddle?' it's supposed to make clever people think for ages what it is when teh answer is simply
'no'
its penis
the answer is no. the riddle has no meaning and because children dont think as deeply that is how they got the answer right whereas adults try to be too clever and look deeper into it x
you retards....pressure is not the answer...if you look at pressure you pop?....and "something" works...so that can be the answer.....you can say..."yes i can answer the riddle...then say the answer is 'something'" all you dumb fucks need to shut up
is it VG ROOTS ?
it was a typing error
on the other hand looking at your argument BREASTS , TESTICLES could also be the correct answer looking at it logically and scientifically
you both are complete arse holes anyone can see the correct answer is 'NO'
ok take a chill
haha....NO....its NO........its sad I just wasted about 20 minutes of my precious time on this...googled it and got you all.....hmmmm....what a world we live in that we can RACK OUR BRAINS WITH THESE RIDDLES....and get some sort of an answer by going on the internet....MAN I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!!
Bless-ed Be.....
the answer is no....ok...not presure, not air, not anything else but no
sure it says can you guess.... but that doesn't make the answer yes
THE ANSWER IS PRESSURE
the question is "can you guess the riddle?". only possible answers which make sense are "yes" or "no". and "no" is correct, because it is not asking for the ANSWER of the riddle, it is asking whether you can guess it.
another possible answer is "yes, i can. but im not gonna tell u." coz at the end of the day, it is only asking you whether u can or cant, and not really asking you what it is.
How is "Pressure" the answer? How does pressure turn polar bears white?
Just curious
The answer is obviously 42.
Since most of you seem to like ice skating up hill, this will keep you occupied for a few hours.

The below statement is true
The above statement is false
no
The answer is "something" =)
u guys r all retarded
Okay, so statistics say that 7% of all harvard graduates got this right. BUT! 87% of all kindergarteners got this right. now, unlike a fully developed confusing brain. The undeveloped brain of a kindergardener would come up with a simple answer...
Like... No. They can actually accept they can't do something. Adults and teenagers alike can't. So, I asked a few kindergardeners this, 7 out of 10 said no, the rest said I don't know. Hmm....
anyone who takes stats for face value should think less about the riddle and more about what they read and see
It's KRYPTONITE
the answer isnt time
the answer is heat
i've read somewhere that the answer is time and i dont get it. time makes you pop?
this riddle is really stupid
ok ... i have two answers ... most riddles say " can u guess what i am " or " what am i" ... this one says, " can u guess this riddle? .. the answer to the question " can u guess this riddle?" is either yes or no, depending on how smart you think you are .. thats the bottom line, it is not asking for anything else, just asking if you can guess this riddle or not ... that is the simple answer .. the tough answer would be " me" ... every question asks or starts with the word "I" ... I can do this, or I can do that ... it doesnt say how it has to be done, only that "I" do it ... people, you have to look at things simply in life ... that is why the kindegarten kids got it ...
its like this .. how do you put an elephant into the fridge? .. you open the door and lead him in ... doesnt matter how big or small the fridge or elephant are, thats all u have to do ...
seriously who cares, at the end of the day this riddle is not going to effect your life. it is just a little mind twister to get you thinking. mabyeeee thats the answer, thinking... everyone took some time out of thier day to think about this. mabye you should take some time out of your day to think of somthing important.
Legs spread open
Ahah, this old "riddle". It takes me back to my days working at CERN. The answer is, of course, quantum particles - it's essentially a particle physicist's ode to the Standard Model of quantum mechanics.
The elementary constituent of light, a photon (γ), turns polar bears white due to bleaching effect. Water (H2O) that makes you cry and pee (lines 2, 3), which is made up of hadrons and electrons, in turn formed of 3 colour-charged quarks and 1 colour charged quarks respectively - 20 hadrons (10 photons, 10 neutrons), and 10 electrons.Amino acids, which make up hair, are made up of carboxyl (CO2H) and amino (R-C=ONR2) chemical functional groups, themselves comprised of 3 colour-charge and 1 colour charge quarks indirectly. Amino acids also make up every cell in your body, dictating how you look (lines 5, 6).
The last two lines refer to quantum particle observation, and the manifestation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle; it is only possible to observe the quantum state of a particle by implicitly affecting its state ("If you squeeze me, I'll pop"), and the fact that the quantum state of the observing particle is in itself affected ("If you look at me, you'll pop") upon observation.
FYI - line 7, "I turn pancakes brown" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Robert Brout's pseudohypothesis that the brown stuff on pancakes is the only naturally occurring source of the elusive Higgs' Boson!
well it could be pressure. ie, bladder pressure (peeing), peer pressure (crying or making girls brush their hair, celebrities), weight pressure (turning pancakes brown), CO2 pressure (champaign), force pressure (like squeezing a baloon), and air pressure (like being in a plane and your ears pop). the polar bear pressure was tricky to figure out, but the only explination that would make sense for 'pressure' as the answer if if the polar bears have adapted to their environment due to the pressure in the cold climate. NOW IM HAPPY!
The answer is either "Yes" or "No"... At the end of the riddle, there is a question. "Can you guess the riddle?" If the reader thinks the author implied "Can you guess the riddle correctly?" The answer would be "NO". If the reader takes the question literally "Can you guess the riddle" the answer would be Yes because you can guess as much as you would like but you will never actually guess the correct answer. - signed: Things in life are not as complicated as they seem!
The awnser is time
i retract my previous statement because i remembered a lesson from middle school my teacher gave me this riddle. the actual anwser is no. when you ask a kindergardener theyl just say no because they dont give a shit if you ask a harvard student theyl try to add in some scientific data leading them astray. my proffesor told me the anwser was no and i agree.
Time.
RIGHT! I cannot believe some of these moronic answers - Sun, brain, time, pressure, wind???? What is wrong with you idiots! I thought 'crayons' was about as close as any of those answers you fools. The answer is obviously 'NO' or perhaps it's pigment, pain, bladder, vanity, bloopers, makeovers, heat, nitrogen oxide, balloon & the grill of dirty great big truck coming straight at you at 100mph! I don't know why I bothered creating some you freaks!
you are all batty men
The answer is George Bush.
It can be Pressure or Yes. Anyone can guess lol
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.
oh seriously you morons. how many people have posted this, the answer (and what is THE COMMON WORD USED IN EVERY LINE- TIME - you retards):
The time has come, winter is hereand those yellow bears disapear.
The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.
As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begs
As time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brush
As time passesFor those held hightheir end is nigh
As time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequal
As time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughter
As time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fine
As time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.
As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehand something so vast.
the answer is time you idiots
yeah actually the Riddle was DERIVED from this poem, which was originally published as a childrens poem. Hence.. the poem was here before the riddle. Answer being time:
The riddle is derived from the children's poem below.---------------------------------TIMEThe time has come,winter is hereand those yellow bears disappear.The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begsAs time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held hightheir end is nighAs time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehend something so vast.
Listen to Fred, you idiots! It's quantum particles!!!
Its not time
The answer is time.
This is soooo old, with the magic of the internet at our fingers I can only marvel at some of the bizarre answers on here, not least 'no' - the last line isn't part of the riddle you f***ing morons
everyone - this riddle was made for only one reason - to annoy people and keep them thinking! There is no answer other than yes, you can guess - but you will never get the answer as there isnt one. It is one of those annoying riddles that is just meant to annoy and confuse people. And clearly it has worked!
the answer is geography

I totally wish I could come up with a crappy riddle like this and have people spend so much time trying to answer it.. no one is going to tell you a definitive answer and the stats are gay, and the saddest thing is that aside from the answer 'no', the most convincing answer here has been 'shampoo' in terms of logic.
Though out of loyalty, I'm going to go with the my fav Ginger Ninja on this.. Chuck.
It's all about Fish... Fish is the answer. It's so obvious when you think about it...
Does anyone else find it disturbing that people are spending so much time trying to figure this out but no one's even remotely concerned with the number of people who can't correctly spell kindergartener and still expect everyone to believe they have high enough IQ's to answer ANY riddle? No offense, but I'm more likely to believe in the staggering intellect of someone who can use the words there, they're, and their properly than those of you who can't see fit to exhaust yourselves by typing entire words like "you" and "are". Scroll up and read the comment by "Ron" and suddenly all will become clear.
THE ANSWER IS YES! You can guess all you want, but you still won't come up with answer. . .
i think its lemon..
its pressure.
is the answer life? life turns polar bears white, makes you cry, make you pee, brush your hair in the morning, will make you look stupid, and make you look good, turn pancakes brown and make champagne bubble...

You must have a lot of time on your hands
haha
i actually completely agree with the pressure idea minus the fact that a kindergartener would never guess that answer
Kindergartener, JMR, happens to be pretty tough word, although I agree with how bad spelling can reflect on how someone's intelligence level is percieved
ME!!
the answer can be yes or no, or what ever variation you want but the awnser to the riddle is energy
I thinks it's a mother.
why would a mother want to pop her children and how would she turn a polar bear white?
Can you guess the riddle? this question asks for a simple yes or no answer. There is no right answer for it. You either Can guess the riddle (yes) or Can't guess the riddle (No). Whether you guess or not, you have your answer. There is no right answer of the two, it is an opinion. Any other answer just doesn't make sense. You don't answer a yes or no question with anything other then yes or no (unless they have the same meaning as yes or no).
The nswer is... NO
This riddle has bee circulated via e-mail with an attached excel document which is password proteced... and the password is " NO "
I wrote it. The answer is, "Yes".
THE ANSWER IS NOT NO
THE ANSWER IS YES!
ANYONE IS ABLE TO GUESS THE RIDDLE, WHETHER THEIR ANSWER IS RIGHT OR WRONG.
(If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.)
You can't squeeze pressure or time.
well i for one liked the idea about the purple freezies... but think on his one... president bush yes thats right... he died the f-n polar bears white so we'd think the world isn't goin beserk, he probably makes millions of ppl cry in a day, peeing is a given... especially wanting to pee on him... girls comb their hair b/c he is contol freal and yells at them to do so, he himseld looks stupid, and celebrities saying they wish they could be him, thus they looks tupid, makes normal people seem superior to all athers cuz he looks so stupid, turns the pancakes brown b/c he likes them that way, bubbles the champain b/c he can, if u squeeze him he will most likely pop... like his head or something... and if u look at him/ talk to him, his idiocy will drive you to the point of insanity leaving u to pop... there u go... the answer to the riddle... president bush.. yes i know im a genius!!! ^_^
and i actually thought maybe it was something... but you ppl are crazy... i understood after the first few posts, why can't ya just stop?
The answer is 42.

im going to waste some more time looking up other riddles. Riddle people/time wasters... ROCK ON!!
i agree with amber. you guys are wasting too much time on this....they're fun and all, but they are complete and utter time sucks. the answers i came up to this are : yes, no, time, air, pressure, beauty, and a few others. but im gonna go kill this fly thats been buzzing my head this entire time. *go gets fly swatter*
Cassie, complete stranger. ahem. I greet you with as a Time Waster. *bows down.

The answer to this challenging riddle is obviously Chuck Norris.
turn polar bears white Chuck Norris frightens the polar bears
and I will make you cry. and people in his prescence.
I make guys have to pee Once again, he scares men
and girls comb their hair. and is loved by all the women.
I make celebrities look stupid Celebrities are pathetic compared to him,
and normal people look like celebrities. people in his prescence are stars.
I turn pancakes brown He burns pancakes and
and make your champane bubble. makes champagne bubble with his hottness
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. If you anger him, he'll pop you in the face.
If you look at me, you'll pop. If you stare in his eyes, you life is over.
Can you guess the riddle?
I believe that riddle is a simplified version of the actual poem, whose answer is time. The person who origionally posted the simplified version didn't explain it as well as they should have. i'm sure they ment the answer to be "No" but in the origional the answer was "Time."
It cant be no becuz guessing no means YES you CAN guess the riddle. Based on the original poem THE ANSWER IS TIME. other than yes or time, your guess is wrong. hence kindergarteners DID NOT get this right if you interpret the riddle correctly. most of u howev
THE ANSWER IS YES!!!
"can you guess the riddle?"
YES we can guess, you all are guessing now. so the answer to the riddle is YES!
now if it said something like "can you figure out the answer to the riddle?" then the correct answer would be no, because it might be impossible for 1 thing to do all that.
SO THE ANSWER IS YES!!
im going with Professional Riddle Solver on this one. good thinking!! :D
Its Chuck Norris
it's a mirror.
I must also say:
Time turns pancakes brown the same way you grow old.
the answer is no.
bit the only other reasonable answer is "pressure"
think about that one.
ur all looking far too much into this. let it go. seriously
scabs are gross.
my guess would either be no... or a balloon or some gass inside it like helium lol. but its probably no considering kindergarteners can guess it...
u know, because so many kindergarden children answered it correctly....the riddle probably only seeks your honest reply to the last question, "can you guess the answer" as THE answer to the riddle. just imagine how many harvard student pondered the answer and never got it...as apposed to a bunch of kindergarden children who just answer the last question and get it correct.
it's almost alcohol. not quite. the first and last line don't make sense really but the rest work. alcohol. good times
Stop guessing it's TIME. Proof was given multiple TIMEs!
It is actually the name of the riddle.........
It is called "The World's Hardest Riddle", so the answer to this question:
"Can you guess the riddle?" is yes, it is called "The World's Hardest Riddle"
In this case, they did not include the correct title, so I guess it can be called " Turns Polar Bears White"
I've been reading these comments for some time now and i have to agree with a lot of these answers, pressure, time, chuck norris (lol) etc, in regards to the answer no, how can it be no when it is clearly possible that you can guess the riddle, even if you can't answer it, it is possible to take a stab at hte answer.
Yes seems to be the best answer because you can geuss it, even if it was probably wrong. I found this brain teaser in a christian youth group booklet thing, so i am not counting out the possibility of god...
whatever the answer is, hu cares, i'm playing halo 3 ;)
i can actually do all of those things, so the answer is definatly me....
me, me, me...and probably anyone else with enough determination.
it's Time, fools.
I'm gonna have to guess time.
omg...whoever nick is, you are stupid. polar bears are not translucent. lol
the last line is asking you ifyou can guess this riddel its not part of the riddel o m g yous r thick aint you's
YEAST OR PRESSURE
the answer Is YES look its a question CAN YOU GUESS THE RIDDLE well duh you can guess the riddle but doesnt mean your right. The riddle want you to have your own opinon on what it is i can GUESS what it is so YES would be the answer
The answer is Brittney Spears. She makes celebrities look stupid cuz she gives them a bad name. Or something...Haha jk.
Weebam Na in Oblivion put it best. "Penis". It makes polar bears white and people cry. It makes guys have to pee(duh) and grills comb their hair. It makes celebs look stoopid and normal people look like celebrities. It makes pancakes brown and champane bubble. And if you squeese it, it'll pop and looking at it will make you pop. XD
I'm sorry but are you all REALLY in all seriousness arguing about this riddle? Not that serious people. It's supposed to be fun.
onions or lemons
its time
the answer is manure.. ^_^
I thought the answer was god, because god made everything the way it is... Than I thought it was us, since we say that Polar bears are white, when really the fur is clear, we make each other cry (We also make our selfs), guys have to piss because of the way we are made (same as girls but...), we make girls comb their hair, we cook our pancakes brown, we make our champane, we make celebreties look stupid, and we can make ourselfs look like celebreties. For both answers the last to lines did not make sense,
(If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop)
to my answers.... But thats what I think... or its pressure :)
actualy the answer is time
It's time - it's from the following children's poem:The time has come,winter is hereand those yellow bears disappear.The time has pastas man looks back with a sighand a tear in his eye.As time is heldboys cross their legsbut of course the toilet begsAs time marches onGirls loose their blushand swap a comb for their brushAs time passesFor those held hightheir end is nighAs time catches upEveryone is equalwhen we get to the final sequelAs time turnsWithout it we have flour and waterWith it we have breakfast for my daughterAs time revolvesHow does one turn water and wineinto something so fineAs time runs outThe more in a minute you try and squeezethe less you can do with ease.As time ticksAll the time that has pastman cannot comprehend something so vast.
I checked in a dicttionary:
Guess: 1. To arrive at or commit oneself to an opinion without sufficient evidence: to guess a person's weight. 2: To estimate or conjure correctly: To guess a riddle. 3: To think, belive, or suppose: I guess you're right. 4: To for a estimate or conjecture. 5: To estimate or conjecture correctly. 6: An opinion that one reaches or to which one commits oneself on the basis of probability alone or in the absence of any evidence whatever. 7: The act of forming such opinion.
The main part is: 2. To estimate or conjecture about correctly: to guess a riddle.
That means, because this is a riddle, the 'Can you guess the riddle?' means can you correctly guess, which you can't, that means the answer is no.
its time not "no"
Right... I really belive it's no, because of the last line of the riddle. Why do you belive its time?
THE ANSWER IS NO!!!
Its freakin time you idiots stop arguin and calling each other names its time i asked like the entire freaking kindergarten class and almost all of them said it in one form or another, stop trying to be smart and say "NO. there, i guessed the riddle, haha" because it makes you sound stupid and immature. its TIME. If you try to squeeze too much into your time, itll pop, and if you look at the time, you'll pop. and whoever said it was beauty? that was PATHETIC! you were grovelling for answers there, werent you? Beauty wont make you pee. Oh, but i did llike the answer commercials, that was funny.
and if you look at the time, you'll pop
That doesn't make sense. How do you pop when you look at the time? And you can't physicly look at time besides on a clock.
The answer is simply, "NO", as in nitric oxide. The kids say "No", you can't tell whether they're saying no, as in negative, or no as in nitric oxide, but nitric oxide (NO) is the only answer I can find. I mean, what kid's going to say pressure, global warming, or beer? And time simply cannot be an answer, because if you squeeze time, it certainly will not pop. You can look at the time and "Pop" or freak, maybe because you're late. I seen this suggestion on a yahoo answer, and it seemed pretty interesting, I mean, NO(negative) is a good answer, but do you really think that it would have gotten this popular with a simple, no? I'm going to do further research to prove my point.
IT GOES TO SHOW WHO HAS A BRAIN AND WHO DOESNT! URL AINT SPORTS!
I GOT THIS RIDDLE IN A FORWARD AND YOU HAD TO GET THE PASSWORD TO ENTER THE EXCEL SPREADSHEET. THE ANSWER 'NO' WAS WHAT LET ME IN.
DON'T KNOW IF THATS RELEVANT
lozers..get a life..dos it matter wht is the correct answer?
Gawd there are soo many comments. Everyone relax, and breathe...okay?
The answer is probably "yes" since the question is can you guess the riddle?
anyone can GUESS the riddle, which is probably what a kindergartner would say.
And even though some people think its pressure, how the hell is a kindergartner meant to guess that? seriously people...think about it.
Although the polar bear one is questionable, the answer is probably pressure. Can you guess this riddle was added on think, don't qoute me on that.
I like wieners.
Oh... and i seriously doubt kindergartners know the word "pressure".
If the writer litterally means "guess" with "can you guess?", then the answer would be Yes, because you can always guess, it doesn't need to be right.
However, if the writer means that you can tell the right answer to the riddle, the answer would probably be No.
Pressure isn't right. How can you EVER! LOOK at pressure?? Pressure isn't visible, only its effects. Even if you could see pressure, just by looking at it you will NOT pop!
PLUS! KINDERGARTNERS CANT FKING READ! HOW COULD THEY ANSWER THE RIDDLE IF THEY CANT EVEN READ! "selebr...brrruuh...titties!"
COME ON!
This is the best comment on this riddle, I'd say ^^
The correct answer is a simple "yes or no."The key is the last line of the riddle, that was, the real QUESTION, it simply asked you "Can you guess the riddle?" it only required a simple yes or no answer.And, as it unsurprisingly turns out -- "97% of Harvard graduates could not figure this out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to answer this in less than 6 minutes." The answer 84% of them would have said is a simple " yes or no."
Much easier for the pre school kids they cant read.. well most someone would have asked them the question.. it would have confused the kid.. then at the end asked *can you answer the riddle* of course they would say no.. harvard student can obviously read there is no pause and no confusion whilst reading this therefore it seems to actually want the answer to the riddle.. it is real and there is an answer.. just no one knows it..
The Answer is Chuck Norris lmfaoo!!
he can do anything
i think ihtz simply no
if u dnt agree den ur stupid
lyke evry1 says da last line iz da real question
dats wutt makes iht a riddle u estupids!!!
ahahahahaha
best rapper alive!!!
um the answers time..
Ahh....I see
The question the riddle ased is now 'Who am I?' It asked 'Can you guess the riddle?' Basically we dont have to find out what on earth turns the polar bears white and whatsoever.
What a riddle!!
Answer = YES, without a shadow of doubt. did this one at kindergarten...
the answer is water duuuuuuuuuuuuu
hey omagosh peniss are so hot i have one in me right now if u no wat i mean=)
answer is "no". i got an email about this a while ago...
I checked in a dicttionary:

That means, because this is a riddle, the 'Can you guess the riddle?' means can you correctly guess, which you can't, that means the answer is no.
the answer is yess you can guess you might be rong though
the answer is time
Dudes! The answer is NO if you got sent an email with a locked excel sheet you would know that No is the only answer!
It is a riddle this is the point, it is not meant to be logical, just use your first instinct to can you guess the RIDDLE! But in anycase the answer is NO!
I know .. I know... This sounds dumb.... But I think the answer is heat >_< look :
I turn polar bears white: Arent polar bears white to blend in with their COLD surroundings?
and I will make you cry. Hasnt it been so cold that you start to cry?
I make guys have to pee. Almost everyONE I know has to go pee when its really warm or really cold.
and girls comb their hair. It gets frizzy!
I make celebrities look stupid. Hair products react to more extreme temps
and normal people look like celebrities. We have more showy clothes in the summer and Fashionable clothes in the winter And girls take more time with their hair to make sure it don t go *Poof!*
I turn pancakes brown. Heat>Evaporation>Brown.
and make your champane bubble. All carbonated drinks have to stay cool. (COLD IS A TYPE OF HEAT)
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. Errmmm This is where my explanation doesnot make sense
If you look at me, you'll pop. Reaaallly Hot Thing and you stick your self to close you get blisters... And what do blisters do?
Can you guess the riddle? Somewhat.
See? It works!
omg the answer really is yes or noo. lol
the answer is time duu i checked on wiki.answers.com check the answer on wiki.answers.com
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!
no
the answer is either TIME or NO cause if u ask a kindygartener can u answer this rddle they'll be like nooo
The answer is no, yes, pressure, time, heat, and many others. There is not just one answer. You are all right, and all wrong. There is no one right or wrong.
I translated that question from dutch to english, it was a question they asked on a university in holland. The answer is the Light/Sun:The sun turns polar bears white The sun will make you cry when you look at it. The sun, its morning it will make guys have to pee and girls comb their hair. A spotlight celebrities look stupid and normal people look like celebrities. The sun can burn pancakes brown and make your champagne bubble, Champagne Light, has bubbles. If you squeeze a Light"bulb", I'll pop. If you look at the sun or light, you'll pop.
Greetings from the first translator maybe?
~Dimitri
its pressure
The answer is NO
But wat a STUPID riddle!, riddles are supposed to have real answers, not no one, or nothing, anybody can make many more riddles like that and then riddles would be pointless, shouldn't have been dubbed the hardest riddle, sTuPiD maybe, fkn tard!
the answer is no becauz it say can u answer this riddle, NO
that's why kindergartens can answer cause they autimatically give up and say theu can't and unbelievably that is the answer
I AM A GENIUSSSSS !!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAH:((()))):<< P.S i go to Concord High Sccchhhoool

The answer is no as the question is "can you guess the riddle" It is not asking you to guess what the object is otherwise it would have said "What am I". Think about it!!
BULL SHIT!
BULL SHIT!
Water... a little kindegarden said that water makes you pee and a girl has to brush their hair if it is wet or it would be, "not pretty". Polar bears live in ice area and you need water for tears. Cant have a drink w/out water. Water is added to flour for the panakes. Cute..but does not blend in with the popping ordeal unless its like a water balloon. Small Children are more open minded and innocent while I was thinking that it is time and that time will make you pop because everyone dies and if you look at dead "popped" body you would bust to by vomiting. Yes I know its disgusting and dont know the answer but I DO KNOW THAT IT CANT BE...NO.
I think the answer is a bubble.
okay its either
no
preasure
or the sun
The ten molecules of air
The answer is "this d$&*"... and you're welcome!
how can it be god??? How can you squeeze god and he'll pop. wtf?
i like cats...
the guys above and below me are serious tools
Its no
Dude everyone is wrong.
The real answere is suposed to be no but by saying no as in you cant guess the answere you you are acually guessing it so the answere is now yes.
OWNED.
the answer is a woman. i really think it is
it answers all of them except the polar bear answer, unless the woman is a teacher then she can teach you that a polar bear is whatever the hell color you want it to be :P
the teacher hasto be some kind of virgin that is succeptible to rape. She makes celebrities look stupid because thats her choice. She is good looking so she makes celebs look bad. If she is a virgin, then you can "pop" her *if you know what i mean*. Her looks can make a man "pop". There, now get on with your life
Its beauty think about it
turn polar bears white: beauty
and I will make you cry: beauty can be so fascinating it makes some people cry
I make guys have to pee: something so beautiful the guys piss themselves
and girls comb their hair: girls want to be beautiful so they comb their hair
I make celebrities look stupid: real beauty does make celebrities look not so smart
and normal people look like celebrities.: beauty can make normal people look totally outstanding
I turn pancakes brown: it makes the pancake look more tasty, hence the beauty of fresh looking pancakes
and make your champane bubble.: champaign looks more beautiful when it bubbles
If you sqeeze me, I'll pop: beauty will pop(be amazed) when u hold on to it. (eg beautiful things will respond around you if u are beautiful too)
If you look at me, you'll pop.: youll pop(be amazed) when u look at beauty
yes the answer is suppose to be no. but it could be "you" or whoever is presenting the the riddle. They would've said they can do all those things, lol

The answer is time.Trust me...
I think its a bomb if you squeeze a bomb it explodes and If it squeezes you. you die :D

Okay, if a bunch of kindergarten children got this one right and a bunch of Harvard students got it wrong, then how hard can it be?
