I am puzzled about a riddle and I was wondering if anyone can help me. The riddle says:

(95% of kindergarden children can answer this correctly but only 17% of Stanford students got it right).


What is greater than god, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it and if yu eat it yu will die. What is it?

§pearhead
...nothing?

Shadow_King

HockeyHorror
well we know its not poop/shit, cuz eating shit wont kill you, it will just get you really sick.

Shadow_King
nothing you can kill you.

Once?
Twice?
Thrice?
Sold-------> Nothing it is then big grin

Shadow_King
trust me its nothing.

PrefectRonnykin
Nothing big grin

the thing is kindergarten students think of the first thing that comes to mind and settle with that when a Stanford student rakes through his mind for an intelligent answer instead of the most obvious

its a trick question its meant to mislead you

Silver Stardust
It's nothing, I've heard that before.

HockeyHorror
it is nothing, but there SHOULD be an answer for EVERYTHING.

Shadow_King
well their isnt. i have a riddle.

HockeyHorror
thats not a riddle because there can be different answers in different perspectives that would make sense.

I got one:
''It cannot felt, cannot be heard, or smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first, leaves after,
It ends life and kills laughter''

DanZeke25
ok this is a tough one i think.


There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

DanZeke25
another one

Only one color, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies.
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.
What is it.

ragesRemorse
I dont know but heres a guess, freeae water in one of the jugs before putting into the barrel?

Here is a riddle though, can be easy but is still a favorite.

There is a barn with an arked rook, there is nothing in the barn. No windows, no nothing except a beam running arcross the ceiling. The beam is a good 30 feet from the ground. There is a man hanging from the beam. his feet are 15 feet from the ground. there is nothing else in the barn except the man hanging from the beam, and a puddle of water under the man, how did the man hang himself?

DanZeke25
ur right.... but the real answer was freeze them both and them put it in the barrel....

and for ur riddle... this a guess... the man was building the barn and something happened and he fell and hung himself?

angelsflame265
um. . shadow?

ragesRemorse
Cool beans.

No,the man hung himself. Ther eis absolutely nothing in the barn except the man hanging and a puddle of water under himself

angelsflame265
