neither time nor, nor god nor even pressure..the answer is no..think like a kid..its not yes..its no..

if it had an answer, the last line of a riddle is who or what am I? not can you guess this riddle?

Okay, wow..
I wasn't gonna comment on this, but I just have to.
Wow.
To the people who are getting all technical with this,
You need to stop looking at the riddle specifically.
And, only look at the real question.

Now, to the people who are saying ' time ' and 'pressure' are the answer.
Yes, it's POSSIBLE that those are the answer.
But, it says that kindergartens figured it out.
Those answers are way to deep and thought out for a five-year-old to understand,
much less contemplate as the answer to such a riddle.

Also, it's now debatable as to whether the answer is 'yes' or 'no'.
I think it depends on you're point of view.
I mean, yes you can guess the answer.
But, some are taking it onto themselves as solving the riddle,
That is how they come to the conclusion as 'no'.

I think the answer is both yes and no.
And I think this riddle was devised to see how many fights can be ensured on the answer.

Much love,
Stevie

Sorry, forgot something.
And for people who get mad that I say no.
The riddle is.

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 sqeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you guess the correct answer?

That's the version I've seen anyways.

Polar bears are not white. They are actually black. There fur might be white, but thats do to light. And the light to earth takes time. So. The answer is time. Babing.

Wow. So many people can have so varying takes on this complex riddle

My answer is A Famous Author.

I turn polar bears white - Authors descriptive details

And I will make you cry. - sentimental aka sappy tale

I make guys have to pee - Tom Sawyer takes a leak on a fence

And girls comb their hair. - Little Red Riding Hood combs her hair

I make celebrities look stupid - Ever read GLOBE magazine?

And normal people look like celebrities. - Uncle Tom's Cabin?

I turn pancakes brown - Cooking some southern cuisine Ellie May?

And make your champagne bubble. - An expensive dinner party scene

If you squeeze me, I'll pop. - You don't want to squeeze a famous author..

If you look at me, you'll pop. - A slang term for get excited at the sight of is pop. Ask any
die hard professional wrestling fan.

Can you guess the riddle? I don't believe that the harvard/kindergarten statistic is correct. Come on people. Don't believe everything you read. Especially Statistics that don't have any evidence to support them.

A Famous Author is my answer. Though I bet someone will dispute.

Everything takes time no matter what it is. So it could be time. And as for all of you guys saying that the answer is NO, that's kind of stupid because, everybody can GUESS A RIDDLE, whether they're right or not is two different things. but everybody can guess, so if you were looking at it from that aspect the answer would be yes. Everybody's mind works in different ways, maybe the answer is that there is no answer, because we were all blessed with our own perceptions.

Can you guess the riddle?

i think the answer is NO. look at the last line of the riddle. it doesnt ask anything but whether or not you can guess the riddle

Answered by derekj402 on Jun 25, 2007, 06:04PM

actually it is time

Answered by bettie on Jun 26, 2007, 08:11PM

because of the last line the and the statistics the answer must be YES.
because you can guess the riddle and thats what it is asking.
even though time and pressure andtime are really good answers.

Answered by cartpusher on Jun 27, 2007, 10:21AM

ok, so with the assumption that the last line is can you guess the riddle then the answer has to be no, at least for me, for i have no idea how in the bloody hell to guess a riddle. however, if the last line is can you guess the correct answer then the answer is yes. i don't know about you, but given the chance i can guess the correct answer to anything.. the odds of it aren't great, but i can still do it. now if they change the last line to what am i i'm gonna go with time.
so with the answer capable of being yes no or time i guess just pay attention to the last line when someone poses this riddle

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
YES, I can guess it.
We've all sat here and guessed it, right or wrong, so it can't be NO because that's a guess.
Now, you all make up a bunch of unrelated lines about I can.. or If.. and then end it with Can you guess the riddle? and post it and laugh at all the arguments and dialogue ensues.
Really.. just make up a bunch of googly-gopp and end it with Can you guess the riddle?
Here let me try one:

I turn sense into nothing
And I will make you waste your time
I make you guys into babbling idiots
And girls scratch their heads
I make self-proclaimed intellects look stupid
And normal people look like geniuses
I turn minds spinning
And make your thoughts obsessive
If you don't overthink it, the answer will pop
If you dwell on me you'll pop
Can you guess the riddle?

YES YES YES- The answer is Yes.. and the object of the riddle is the riddle..
Have a good day.

One last note.. most riddles end by posing the question, What am I? or Who am I?-- this one doesn't. The question is, Can you guess the riddle? and that's what you should be answering- not what or who it's about.

Answered by notthinking on Jun 28, 2007, 05:18PM

obviously the basic idea behind a riddle is that you are to guess the something or someone being spoken of. Answering yes or no does not solve the riddle. Answering yes does not solve the riddle, because answering yes is just your affirming that you can solve the riddle; it is not solving the riddle. Answering no is just you affirming that you cannot solve the riddle. How would that be solving the riddle? You still have not told us what can do all of those things. Unless the word no or yes can turn a polar bear white or do all of those other things then you have not solved the riddle.

Answered by chozunn on Jun 29, 2007, 11:27AM

Ok to all the people saying the answer is yes. When you read the riddle you must assume that all of the riddle written is a part of the riddle. You must also take into account that all the information given is true. Whether it is or not. Now honestly if 84 percent of kindergarden students answered as the author intended. We can sit here and say well since the TECHNICAL MEANING of guess is making a guess at something we could say yes. BUT do you honestly think a kindergarden student would think that much into the meaning of the word guess? Jesus christ people. I mean its great that you dig deep into the english language to come out with an answer but kindergarden students wouldnt and they got it right. They would say no. because all they hear in a riddle is statements. At the end of the statements they hear a question. They have learned and usualy do not stray from the thought that you answer questions. They would not answer a statement. The only question is can you guess the riddle?. and since they would not know the true meaning of guess and apply it. They would simply say no most likeley giggling and looking at their friends as they said it. Damn take psycology courses people

i is the answer. every statement begins with I. The last one throws you off because it says you, which is a another pronoun.

the last line of the riddle is suppose to be
Can you solve this riddle?
not can you guess
so that would make no the correct answer, because there is no answer

Answered by sk8er4life123 on Jul 11, 2007, 12:17PM

I think the answer is no because there can be so many daifferent answers so there for there is really no answer

ok.. I have read most of these answers people have come up with and what it all comes down to is the final question.. people say it is Can you guess the riddle? others say it's Can you guess the correct answer? and others say it's Can you answer the riddle? but I have heard people say that the question is not part of the riddle?? so it all depends on what the actual riddle is. but the only person who would know that is who originally wrote it.. so does anyone know him or her? yeah I didnt think so.. so pick your version, decide on your answer, and you'll be fine. and to all the people calling other people stupid for their answer: who the hell are you to call their answer stupid?? but I do think some people are thinking too much into it haha.. riddles are suposed to be fun and make you think, this one has deffinately accomplished the making people think part; but as for the fun part, I see a lot of people taking it too seriously.. Don't take life to seriously. You'll never get out alive. - Van Wilder haha
