They say this is the world's hardest riddle.
Can anyone figure it out?

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 champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.

90% of Harvard students couldn't figure it out!
80% of kindergarteners got the correct answer!

    ........Which means...? You're going to have to be much more specific than that...

    If I look at the riddle there seems to be a line missing at the end; well, at least the way I have seen it before. The answer to THAT is "NO!"

    One-finger-type is just lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THIS is is what he means:

    ...If you squeeze me, I'll pop.

    If you look at me, you'll pop.

    Can you guess the riddle?


    If you add the last line, the answer is quite obviously "NO"

    Actually, I left the last part out for a reason; 'no' is not the answer to this riddle. There is, in fact, a solution to this riddle, and I'm leaving it up to you guys to work it out.

    The final answer is "time."
    There is actually a poem called "Time" and it explains the answer....


    Time
    The time has come,
    winter is here
    and those yellow bears disappear.

    The time has past
    as man looks back with a sigh
    and a tear in his eye.

    As time is held
    boys cross their legs
    but of course the toilet begs

    As time marches on
    Girls loose their blush
    and swap a comb for their brush

    As time passes
    For those held high
    their end is nigh

    As time catches up
    Everyone is equal
    when we get to the final sequel

    As time turns
    Without it we have flour and water
    With it we have breakfast for my daughter

    As time revolves
    into something so fine

    As time runs out
    The more in a minute you try and squeeze
    the less you can do with ease.

    As time ticks
    All the time that has past
    man cannot comprehend something so vast.

    Finally, intelligence! That is, in fact, the correct answer. You got part of the poem wrong, though. The 8th stanza actually reads:

    'As time revolves
    How can man turn water and wine
    Into something so fine?'

    But, yes, the answer IS time...
