My best friend loves a good riddle, always asking questions in witty rhymes that require a great deal of thought to answer correctly.

I am no good when it comes to answering a riddle, as they are always worded so intricately and I prefer things to be said simply.

My friend asked me a question about something that was black and white but ‘read’ all over, but I knew that the answer to his riddle was a newspaper.

It is not necessary for a riddle to rhyme, but a lot of people make them do so because they believe their trick questions are more fun when they rhyme.

I stumped my friend with my favorite riddle from Oedipus Rex, which is ‘What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?’
