Answer 2

Riddles are mysteries to be solved.

In the modern use, riddles are jokes, usually questions that have a trick answer. Most use wordplay, in that the answer depends upon some sly interpretation of the way the question is phrased. The answer may be part of the question itself, or may rely on misdirection.

Examples:

-- "The capital of Kenya is in the center of the country. How do you spell it?"

("I-T")

-- "If every single person left town, who would be left?"

("All of the married couples.")

-- "What word do the smartest people in the world always spell incorrectly?"

(The word "i-n-c-o-r-r-e-c-t-l-y")
