Rupees...Why?
Because you take one single rupee...And then you encounter a chest that holds 200 rupees..but it says you can't carry it in your wallet.

Simple, she woke up, found the dead body, called the police. the answer is the maid because there is no mial on sundays.
As for the original riddle, i think that the last sentence is simply asking you to solve the riddle and is not it's self a riddle. Most riddles one reads will have something like that on the end. The best answer I've seen so far is time (because of the peom) and it works for the kindergartens because time is something they're familiar with, in fact, young children think about time more then us because it's a concept that facinates them, sometimes it goes by fast, other times really slow...but anyways, their teacher could read them the poem as well, however i's probaly a little long and complicated for that age. I think the most convince evidence is that the peom has direct connection/answers to every line of the riddle.
This is not to say that some of the other answers havn't been good. Water works accept for the looking at it and poping. In a way it works with polar bears, part of the reason their fur is white is so they can blen into their environment, which is so, which in turn is frozen water dropplets.
Preasure does not work, because it does not fit the polar bear, or the browning a pankake (pankakes brown because of the slow formation of carbon on the outside due to heat, it can be done using high preasure, but is not in this case) not to mention this one, kindergertens would not think of.
Finaly, so as not to clog up this thread too much, I'll start a thread for anyone who wants to post their own riddles titled simply "Riddles".

The answer is pressure.

Polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.

Pressure makes you cry if it's too much.

Pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.

Peer pressure makes girls comb their hair.

Celebrities usually crack under pressure.

Many normal people will shine under pressure.

Pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.

Champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.

If you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.

If you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it. for example-> in an airplane your ears pop under pressure.

Mot of that makes sense, except that Polar Bears are not white to absorb heat. In fact, white absorbs the least heat. Ever notice that black things left out in the sun are hotter then white things? Black absorbs all light, and thus most of the radiant heat, white reflects the light, not absorbing much heat at all. Also browning is not caused by preasure, it's a chemical changed resulting directly from the heat. Not to mention, as has been stated before, kindergartens would not think of preassure for most if any of those.

The correct answer is TIME. However because of the last question No is also correct, leaving it with two answers. If you can't answer it, then you're right by saying you can't. Those 3% of Harvard graduates are the ones that finally got so frustrighted and blurted out they couldn't figure it out. lol

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
How does one turn water and wine
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.

*You can find anything on the internet.

That's the third time (no punn intended) that poem has been posted, and personaly, i think time makes the most sense with or with out the poem, can't we just settle it on that?

I didn't read through the whole thread, I didn't have a whole lot of time. lol

^No problem with that, I just mean that there are so many people arguing about it still, if three different people have all posted this, it's abviously not like it's just made up by one of them, it makes sense, and people seem to disregard it alltogether

please send back the answer

GOD?????? maybe i dunno

RITE

people, bloody read through all the posts rather than posting rubbish we have been through SEVERAL times!

i agree, steps?

Come on-- NO IS THE ANSWER. The only question asked is the last one. Nobody knows the answer to the riddle, so the answer to the QUESTION is "no."

NO PARADOX.

SHUT THE HELL UP

WE ARE OVER THAT NOW

grrrrrr
