A fart — A bodily function that may be silent or loud, leaves no physical trace, causes no harm, but is universally awkward or disliked. The riddle disguises a crude subject with poetic, abstract language.

Your eyes — As you read the riddle itself, your eyes scan the line from left to right. This “meta-riddle” breaks the fourth wall by referencing the reader’s current action directly.

He hid his exam in the stack — When the professor asked “Do you know who I am?” and said “no,” Johnny quickly hid his paper among the others, leaving it untraceable. The riddle is a humorous logic escape with a clever twist.

All of them — Every month has at least 28 days; only February ends at 28 (or 29), but the rest all pass 28. The riddle tricks by making you think only about February.

It overswept — A pun that plays on the word “overslept.” Since brooms are used to sweep, “overswept” sounds like a believable excuse but is actually a humorous twist.

None — Roosters are male and don’t lay eggs. The riddle assumes something impossible to mislead you into thinking about egg color or genetics.

Once — Once you subtract 5, the number is no longer 25. The question tricks the reader into thinking mathematically instead of logically.

Two — A circle has an inside and an outside. Most people focus on geometric sides (thinking “none”), but the riddle redefines “side” from a spatial perspective.

The car door — He must have opened the car door first to get out and see the others. The riddle creates a distraction with the colored doors, but the actual answer lies in the setup.

A mirror — A mirror reflects a person when viewed from the front, showing “somebody.” But from behind, it’s just glass or backing — showing “nobody.” The riddle uses poetic phrasing to personify the object.

2nd place — By overtaking the person in second place, you now take their position. Many mistakenly think they’d be in first, but that would require passing the person in first place.

A secret — A secret is something you possess privately, but once you tell someone else, it’s no longer a secret. The riddle plays on the contradiction between ownership and disclosure.

Bring a chair — You leave the room walking on your two legs, and when you come back carrying a chair (which has four legs), you now have six legs in total. The riddle tricks the reader into thinking only about human legs.

Smoke — Smoke rises without needing any limbs or wings. It “climbs” due to heat and air currents. The riddle uses elegant visual imagery to describe a natural phenomenon in human terms.

An umbrella — As rain falls, people raise umbrellas to stay dry. The wording creates an illusion of contradiction, but it’s just clever phrasing to hide a simple truth.

2 — This is a phonetic trick. When read aloud: “Thirty cows and twenty ate chickens” sounds like “30 cows and 28 (twenty ate) chickens,” meaning only 2 cows didn’t eat chickens. It plays on ambiguity in spoken language.

Catch you later — This is a pun combining a common farewell phrase (“catch you later”) and the baseball glove’s literal function: to catch the ball. It’s playful and intended to be humorous.

The letter “E” — It appears at the beginning of the word “end,” the end of “time” and “space,” and is in the word “every place.” The riddle makes you think conceptually, but the answer is purely linguistic.

To find Pooh — A humorous pun. “Pooh” refers to Tigger’s friend (Winnie the Pooh), but also sounds like “poo” (slang for feces). The joke relies on double meaning and misdirection toward a literal bathroom reason.

On one person’s head — Everyone else in the room can see the apple except the one with it on their own head. This riddle plays with visual perspective rather than logic or language.

A clock — A clock has “hands” (minute and hour), but they aren’t literal hands and can’t perform any physical action. The riddle uses wordplay to make you think of living beings rather than an object that marks time.

A hole — Removing material like dirt or sand enlarges a hole. This riddle reverses logic: taking away usually reduces something, but here it makes the subject grow. It’s a clever contradiction that highlights negative space.

Mount Everest — The question tricks you by making you focus on the word “discovered,” as if the height of the mountain changed. In fact, even before humans knew about it, Everest was already the tallest point on Earth.

Because it was a copycat — This is a wordplay joke. “Copycat” is used for someone who imitates others. The second monkey jumps because it’s mimicking — just like a literal “copy-cat.”

A pencil — The graphite used for writing is mined, placed inside wood, and stays there permanently. Even though it’s never taken out, it serves its purpose with every stroke of writing.

Gloves — Gloves are shaped like human hands but made of fabric or leather. They contain no living tissue but are designed to fit fingers and thumbs exactly. The riddle tricks you by describing something lifelike.

Breath — Breath has almost no weight, yet no one can hold it forever. It’s intangible and fleeting. The riddle mixes physical lightness with the idea of bodily limits.

See O Double You — This is a play on how the word sounds, not how it’s spelled. “C” sounds like “see,” “O” stays the same, and “W” is “double you.” Combined: “See O Double You” = 13 letters.

A chalkboard — A clean chalkboard is black. Writing with white chalk makes it “dirty.” The riddle plays on our expectations that clean equals white, when here it’s the reverse.

An egg — An egg is sealed to protect its contents, but in order to cook or eat it, it must be broken. Breaking it is necessary to access its value — not a flaw, but a function.

A mirror — A mirror creates a reflection of you, appearing to make “two” of you visually. The clever twist is that it doesn’t add anything — just duplicates the image in reverse.

Your name — You rarely say your own name, but everyone else uses it to call or refer to you. It feels like yours, but functionally, others use it more than you do.

David — The riddle states “David’s father,” which already tells us one of the sons is David. Snap and Crackle are only there to distract and create a false expectation of a pattern.

Answer: A teddy bear Explanation: I’m soft and fluffy, good for a hug, often found lying on a rug.

Answer: A telephone. Explanation: Phones don’t literally ask questions, but people answer them as soon as they ring, hence it “requires” answers without asking.

Answer: A top Explanation: I’m a toy that spins around and around, sometimes falling to the ground.

Answer: A towel. Explanation: The irony here is that a towel becomes saturated (wetter) the more it absorbs water from other surfaces — drying them in the process.

Answer: A triangle Explanation: I’m a shape with three sides you see, like a slice of pizza for you and me.

Answer: A watch Explanation: I tell you the time, with numbers so clear, showing you hours of the day, my dear.

Answer: A whale Explanation: I swim in the sea, and I’m very grand, with a big tail fin on the land.

Answer: A window. Explanation: Though it’s simple, a window is technically a wall opening with transparent material, letting people “see through walls.”

Answer: A zebra Explanation: I have stripes and live in the zoo, black and white is my point of view.

Answer: An airplane Explanation: I fly in the sky, but I’m not a bird. I carry people, have you heard?
