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?[/FONT]

[FONT face=Verdana size=2]Nope. Don't know. I'm absolutely clueless.[/FONT]
Something about toe sucking?
LOL. Nope. It's none of the above and yes, there is an answer.
Toe sucking...*drools*

No

Funny thing, PC... most came up with that answer NO but there is a logical answer.
And oh my, purelife!!
Cold air or wind ?
LOL Lise... that was just for laughs only. PURE LAUGHS!
I laughs with teh Goddess.
Oh PC... you are getting close. It has to do with air.
Wind?
Oxygen?
I'm stuck.......a clue perhaps ??? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c018.gif" border=0]
Good guesses but nope.
OK. Hint: You can't see this but you can certainly feel this.
heat?
cold?
pressure ???
PC!!!! You got it!!!!! (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/21.gif)
This riddle was posted on the net as one of the hardest to solve out there. PC must be super brainy... of course we've always known that. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
From a poster on DV......
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.
Aww Shucks. Well, I may have guessed the right answer, but believe me,[FONT size=4] I don't get it[/FONT].
We only comb our hair because of peer pressure ???
is the guy in that picture more scared that 'she' has a penis or that 'her' penis is bigger than his??

The answer is "No, I can't".
Uhm..... answer was 'pressure'. Unless I'm reading it wrong........? (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/8.gif)
I'm with you TehBorken. After deciding there was nothing that addressed every one of those, I also decided the correct answer was, No.....I can't.
is it Co2?

[FONT face=Verdana size=2]I have some serious doubts, that 84% of kindergarten students came up with 'pressure' as their answer. [/FONT]
On second thought, I think you guys might be right afterall. The answer is most probably 'NO'. You were right, PC. Sorry.
Don't be sorry......the thing about the kindergarten kids answering it was an afterthought.
Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.
In a word, no. The pressure at the poles is not low, and it has nothing to do with heat absorption. [em]
Peer pressure makes girls comb their hair...Otherwise we wouldn't bother!
[/em]This is really reaching, and not very beliveable. Girls comb their hair for lots of reasons, but I doubt peer pressure is one of them. It's not why you comb your hair, is it?
[em]
Pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.
[/em]Nope, they turn brown because the sugars in the flour and bread [a href="vny!://en.mimi.hu/gastronomy/carmelize.html"]carmelize[/a] and change their refractive index, just like when you make toast.
[em]
If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.
[/em]No, not always. Again, this is really reaching in my humble opinion.
[em]
If you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.
[/em]Arg, stop already. This is silly at best and completely ridiculoous at worst. "Looking at pressure"? C'mon, pressure is a quality, not something that can be directly observed.
OK. OK. It was just something that was posted by a poster on DV. I didn't write those. (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/5.gif)
(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Other/5.gif) Oh lordy Lise, lol.......did you take your funny pills tonight ?
No matter what you say... the right answer is still goats. just admit it.... it goes easier after the first time.
Here's a puzzle from Coudal Partners, titled "Whose Fish?" supposedly created by Albert Einstein: [blockquote] This brainteaser, reportedly written by Einstein is difficult and Einstein said that 98% of the people in the world could not figure it out. Which percentage are you in?
There are five houses in a row in different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The five owners drink a different drink, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet, one of which is a Walleye Pike.
The question is– who owns the fish?
[em]Hints:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Malls keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk.
9. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the one who smokes Dunhills.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Princes.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The man who smokes Blends has a neighbor who drinks water.[/em][/p] [em]There are no tricks, pure logic will get you the correct answer. And yes, there is enough information to arrive at the one and only correct answer. [/em][/p] [/blockquote] Sure enough, Coudal has the answer (and [a href="vny!://www.coudal.com/theotherfish.php"]another puzzle[/a] for those smart enough to figure this one out): [a href="vny!://www.coudal.com/thefish.php"]Link[/a][/p]
