I turn polar bears white
And will make you cry.
I make guys have to p
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.
Can you guess the riddle.

Not really. Kids are pretty honest with this sort of question (until about 13). They probably just said "No", which would be a correct answer.

I believe the riddle's answer is "no", but H20 and C seem to be able to do all those things.

The original poster put a period where a question mark should be:

Can you guess the riddle.

The answer can be "yes" or "no." I'm leaning towards "no" because none of my guesses makes 100% sense. Thus I cannot guess the riddle correctly.

Somebody should ask Blaine the Mono to solve this riddle.

This riddle reminds me of the 20 question test with several pre-test rules that were outlined on page 1. The last rule in the list was "you do not have to take this test. Just seeing if you're reading all the rules."

The answer is 'no'.

I remember that one too! My 5th grade teacher sprung it on us one day, right before vacation. Freaked us all out. Then you got to the last part and it was like the weight of the world fell off our shoulders!

If the answer is 'no' then what's the ____ above the last line in the riddle for?

 

[wavinwayne]

I read this to my 5 year old daughter last night. When I said "Can you guess the riddle?", she said "No".

 

[mechtech2]

But that is not "figuring out the riddle".
It is a proclamation of ignorance.
The riddle is composed of the preceding statements that require an answer.

No, the riddle does not require an answer. The question asks the person can you solve the riddle? It does not ask the person to actually present the riddle's answer.
