CAN U FIGURE OUT THE RIDDLE?
when asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten
kids
got the answer, compared to 17% of
Stanford
University seniors.



What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die?
PM me if you think you know the answer.

In all honesty, it really depends on you having a Christian worldview. ;)

The answer, of course...:

The answer, of course...:
Actually I disagree _______ has to fit all of the criteria.

It must be:

greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you'll die?

Does it really depend on your having a Christian worldview though? I mean, sure the first two clauses, but then look at clauses 1-3?

Well, true... I suppose it does help to have a more open-minded outlook while figuring it out, though. Which would explain why small children would get it and academics would not.
