What makes polar bears white riddle answer

We as adults and the Harvard students would try hard to figure out the problem and analyse each others responses. But what we really have to remember is the 5 year olds are supposedly giving the right answer. Do you think a 5 year old knows, as some say, "Celebrities usually crack under pressure", or "Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat. These explanations are not something a kindergarten student would know.

But everyone gets caught up in the hype of trying to solve the riddle using their knowledge that they forget the kindergarten kids don't have that knowledge yet.

In fact, a lot of kids that young may have a short attention span so to think about so many different possibilities is usually out of the question for them so they simply only focus on the last line "Can you guess the riddle? All the time and pressure answers are great but too detailed. As one person mentioned, their "kid" responded that you'd cry because they punched you or that guys pee because I make them laugh NOT because of pressure on your bladder - kids probably don't even know what a bladder is This child's responses are way off our adults explanations.

And thus the reason why so many adults get it wrong. So the riddle stumps most people because it focuses on the fact you will think like an adult NOT a kid. By saying no you contradicted yourself by answering the riddle while saying that you can't answer it.

A riddle is not something you can guess. Especially because you cannot guess something you already know. I really do not understand why it's so hard for people to get it. Also: that poem is a joke-- "when we get to the final sequel" LOL.

As much as I sincerely doubt this is a Harvard study, I really hope that it is. I'm sure they would get a kick out of these comments. If the answer was "Pressure", then how is "Pressure" a riddle. The Answer is Adolf Hitler Nothing links all of these situations together. Polar bears are white because it was evolutionary advantageous for them, genetics made them white, not time or pressure. And for those who say that evolutionary trends take time Pancakes turn brown because a chemical process call the "Maillard reaction" that causes carmelization.

It's a reaction between amino acids and sugars requiring heat How does a normal person "look like a celebrity? It's either coincidence or surgery. Champagne is bubbly because the second fermentation process produce carbon dioxide gas in the bottled wine. Time makes more time to make bubbles, but it doesn't make the bubbles themselves. Pressure can make bubbles, but that's exactly the difference between champagne and sparkling wine You can't squeeze time, nor look at pressure.

No matter how figuratively you want to try to make it The answer - nothing. This is why kids get the answer that adults have a hard time coming up with. We fear looking foolish by challenging the fact that someone says there is an answer, when really there is not. And the last line really should be "what am I.

If "No" is the correct answer then yes you can answer it making "No" incorrect. The fur appears white rather than transparent for the same reasons as clouds, water foam, and cotton reflection and dispersion of visible light. Posted in Riddles.

An adult is more likely to try hard to think around the riddle and find something that fits almost all of the propositions, and submit that, thinking it must also somehow apply to the last one which is doesn't.

The answer is "NO". The lesson is don't overcomplicate things. Students: Are you brave enough to let our tutors analyse your pronunciation? Every riddle is designed to pose a question. And the question this one poses is "Can you guess the riddle" and the answer is NO!!!! So if you've even glanced at your myspace bulletins in the past month, i can guarantee that you've seen this riddle: I turn polar bears white and I will make you cry. If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.

OR that there's some rogue scholar out there dead set on proving just how stupid harvard students really are with series of thought provoking riddles and posting the findings all over myspace but either way, i thought you'd like to know. Teachers: We supply a list of EFL job vacancies. There is no real answer that applies to the things above they are just random phrases again making the correct asnwer NO. I think that everyone who posted that the answer is no, has a very good point.

Many kindergartners would say no to this riddle. Unless they had heard the poem associated with it. And seeing as how the poem is one that is often read to kindergartners, maybe the author of the riddle left the clue to point, not to humility, but to the fact that many kindergartners would remember the poem if it had been recently read to them.

However, many Harvard grads probably have either, never heard the poem or, don't remember it. But since I don't know many kindergartners who could make the connection between the poem and the riddle even if they were read together I would say the answer is no I turn polar bears white fur is white because they adapt to the altitude.

So that leads me to believe God. I was just thinking about it today. Because kids think on a simpler level than most Harvard graduates do. From my experiences most kids believe in God, and that God can do anything, so they would pick that answer.

But the graduate wouldn't because they would think on much more complex terms, they would not say God because as you get older you realize that religion is a much more controversial and complicated thing so people would be more hesitant to pick that as an answer.

Sorry I gave you a long, boring, jumbled explaination for that answer. God is the most probable answer,as Bubblebee said,He can do everything.. I don't think that's the answer somehow.
