EDIT: On second thoughts, I can't be bothered, I'll just end it here and then.

 

The answer is "No, I can't guess the riddle," or "Yes, but my guess wouldn't be right."

 

The question itself is the last line. In riddles, any sentences before the question are just prior knowledge to know, and not necessarily needed in answering the question.

 

Also, interesting fact:

 

97% of Harvard students can't answer it.

84% of Kindergarten kids can.

 

Why? Because the kids hear the last line and shake their head. This is more to do with human psychology and the ways we try and act better than we are.

 

Now, pelase, some decent ones? I don't want to have to read through a long one that's circulating around the Internet at light speed due to idiots reciting it.

Already answered it, the answer to that riddle is Time, it's from a poem.

7 is easy, it's the letter E.

 

4 is the sun?

 

2 a guy on a escalator? lol

 

And number 1 you didn't give a riddle to..

[Sandstorm]

whoops yes on 7, no to 4 and 2. 1 is supposed to be:

 

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

 

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.

 

In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
