Anyone can indeed guess what the answer is.
If they had said, can you answer this riddle?, then it would be 'no'.

I think this is what the whole thing is talking about. The reason "smarter" people couldn't figure it out is because of all this literal thinking, a little kid is just like, "no, I can't figure it out" or, "No it's nothing". It can't be yes, according to the logic everyone's using around here, that the fact that they guessed it as no, makes it yes, is an answer a little kid would never think of. Hmm?
But you know, xXxMidnaxXx is right. The answer is nothing. Determined it's "yes" or "no"? Google it. It's a classical riddle, I remember it from Primary School, or at least some version, they're all the same. People used to say it to other people. There are many versions. One like "all poor people have it, all rich people need it, if you eat it, you'll die." And so on. Think about it, if you were a 5 year old, and someone spoke that riddle to you, I personally would say nothing, wouldn't you?
