Time is the answer

clever, but it doesn't make much sense

Yeah, I agree with you brighteyez but that was the only answer I found for the riddle. Don't know who the author of it is - guess it doesn't matter.

It's got to be pressure.

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.

If you are looking at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.

this is what I found that someone posted on yahoo answers

Yep I saw something about it being pressure too. But It doesn't make total sense either.

The answer to the riddle is NO. have you guys ever looked at the very last line of the riddle. the answer is no because you cant find one answer that makes perfect snese

Pressure doesn't make much sense. Maybe salt? Although its a stretch, too....

Salt water give objects more buoyancy. Polar bears swim all the time. Their hollow clear hair appears white. Its hollow to better maximize the buoyancy of the oceanic salt water. Who has ever gotten salt in their eyes? Yeah... you cry. Pee releases salt... or when you eat something salty you drink a lot more and then have to pee.
sweat and oil contain high ammounts of salt which causes hair to become dull, and tangle easier. ever get hair in your mouth when working out... its salty.
this is great... when famous people sweat its because they are screwing up and when we sweat its because were working hard. the harder you sweat the harder it seems like youre working.

this is the tricky part... Butter has a high ammount of salt (go lick some) and you have to fry pancakes in butter or margarine. thats why they brown.Fry anything in butter and it browns. the champagne thing is sneaky and I dont think young kids would know this...
add salt to champagne and watch it fizz like crazy. hell, add salt or sugar to soda even.. it fizzez like crazy. but then again... i used to mix soda and salt as a kid just to make a mess. squeeze a salt grain and it explodes along its fracture (cleavage) lines
if you put salt in your eyes they eventually dry out and erupt because the skin of the retina splits and the inner fluid drains out

Again still a stretch. But if you pay close enough attention to the riddle. The only question they ask is Can you answer this riddle? So that's the only answer you have to give... and it would be No, I can't answer this riddle because it has no answer. So I gave you two answer, one a cop-out, one a stretch. But whatever. Have fun.

Time makes more sense than any of the other answers that I have come across. I've heard water, pressure, nothing, no, yes, carbon dioxide, the sun.....so far time makes the most sense as far as riddles are concerned. I've always hated riddles....they are never quit as satisfying as I'd have them be. I'm always disappointed in the answer.

the answer is no.

look at the question on the last line

the answer is simply 'NO'. the part of the riddle everyone forgets is the part where it says 91% of Harvard students could not give the corrcet answer but 84% of kindergarten students gave the answer in 6 minutes or less. They simply answered NO.

pressure has nothing to do with why polar bears fur is white. that has to do with melanin and pigment of the skin and hair. white would be the reason they need less melanin due to the lack of sunshine as they need a light color to absorb the vitamin d from the UV lights of the sun.
pressure is rulled out

The trick to this is to read it clearly. Remember- always read things word for word for what they are asking.

The final line says Can you guess the riddle?

It doesn't say What is the answer to the riddle?

So, the riddle (by definition) is the riddle itself.

Come on people... Can you guess the answer is NOT part of the riddle so the answer is NOT NO!!! THE ANSWER IS NOTHING

Hey, I've been thinking about this for like, forever. I beleive the answer is no. the riddle saysI 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 sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.

Can you guess the riddle?
I believe that a child would look right at you and say no. A harvard student, on the otherhand, would look for the answer and say that there was one. This is just my opion, though...

The last line of the riddle asks Can you answer this riddle instead of the classic what am I and the answer is NO. 97% of Harvard graduates couldnt figure this riddle out but 84% of kindergarten students answered within six minutes correctly. The reason being is because they read the riddle and answered with a simple No.

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
