What's amazing about this riddle is, when asked, 80% of kindergardeners
got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University students.

What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, poor men have it,
rich men need it, and you'll die if you eat it?

Chase1 is absolutely correct.
Gwyd - what do you get when you cross an elephant with a jar of Noxema?
And gentlemen, clear you minds of impure thoughts, what goes in stiff and dry and comes out soft & sticky?

the elephant/Noxema thing i made up when i was about 11 years old...the answer is "I don't know either, but it never forgets a face." firefish is talking about chewing gum. the following only works as a spoken-word joke because of the spelling, but what's long and hard and filled with seamen...a submarine. chase1 got the Sphinx's riddle...what else does he have in common with Oedipus?

When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height. Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was. If the tree grew by five centimeters each year, how much higher would the nail be?

The nail wouldnt be any higher.

I turn polar bears white
and I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
and girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
and normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
and make your champane bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the riddle?

97% of Harvard graduates can not figure this riddle out, but 84% of kindergarten students were able to figure this out in 6 minutes or less. Can you guess the correct answer?

The best correct answer to the polar bear riddle is "no" as in "no, i can't guess it," because there's no one thing that can do all the things mentioned in the riddle. Air can do some of them, Pressure can do some, Time can do many, but none can do all. "Can you guess the answer?" "No, because there isn't one."

You have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug. you need to get EXACTLY 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug (you can't even mess it up by an ounce). You have nothing to measure with, just the jugs and as much water as you need. How do you do it?

 Fill the 5 gal up all the way.  Then fill the 3 gal up from the 5 gal.  That leaves 2 gal in the 5 gal.  Pour out the 3 gal, and put the 2 gal in the 3 gal container.  Mark it and pour it back in the 5 gal cont.  Fill the three gall up to the 2 gal mark and pour into the 5 gal.  Voila! 4 gallons.
