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

Question

Ok, lots of people keep saying the answer to the riddle is NO.

Or simple things like time, air, and chlorine?

But that's stupid.

Even no isn't the correct answer.

The 2 possible answers would be YES or NO.

The reason why it's NOT no, is because if you say no to a question that asks if you can answer it, obviously you just DID answer it.

So, the only possible answer that makes sense would be YES, because the question is:

Can you answer this riddle?

Yes, I CAN answer this riddle. I just did. YES. If I were to say no, I would have just answered it anyways.

So, I've came to the conclusion that the answer is YES.

The correct answer would not be yes, because that would not make sense it would have to be time because all this stuff happens in time. Like a pancake turns brown in time not yes.

Frankly, this riddle doesn't really make sense. But if the correct answer was really "No", I can understand the reason. It would mean that they expect you to take this riddle by its structure, which means do not try to think of the meaning literally. All those stuff that came before "if" were meant to just distract you.

If that's the case, "YES" would be wrong. Only No or negation is acceptable. You wrote the whole riddle in the title. So we just need to look at what's written in the title. You do not need to add more questions.

anonymousIf you squeeze me, I'll pop. If

I don't know what that meant, but all I can confirm is that this is a conditional sentence, because it started with "If". Then after "If", there is an affirmative sentencethat's equal to the meaning . As if we said:

If yes, then I'll.

Now look at the end of the riddle, notice that it ended with "If". This suggests a beginning of the "If" conditional sentence. Obviously, the riddle is incomplete, but if it was meant to be completed based on the previous sentence, then we can only use a negative sentence.

If you squeeze me. I'll pop = If Yes, then (Affirmative)

If you don't, ...etc. = If No, then (Negative)

If no, ...etc.

If not, ...etc.
