"The World's Hardest Riddle",
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 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.
I asked my kindergartner and she said "no". That's her response to the question on the last line, "Can you guess the riddle?"

Well after some googling about various things...
Reflection of light from the sun causes a polar bear's fur to appear white, and sort of makes sense with a few of the other lines. The pancakes brown would be heat, wouldn't it? Making champagne bubble would be CO2. That's all I can think of so far. Damn, this is hard!

So, I'm betting that since the last question is can you answer this riddle instead of the more common "what am I" that as the kindergartener said, there is NO answer to it.

But I can and I will despite that people believe the answer is "NO"!
