And we have a winner!!..

Well.. maybe not... The actual answer was "No" or "No i can't". But i did do some reserch, and there has been alot of debate about what the actual answer is.

For example, i found this on a forum.

W/O the "can you guess the riddle" part, I'd say the answer is a thought.



Polar bear's hair is actully translucent. So it's just your thought that makes polar bears white.

Sad thougths can make you cry.

Your body signals when it's time to pee, but you have to decide to go to bathroom.

A girl's thought that her hair's unkempt can make her comb her hair.

Celebrities with little thoughts can look stupid.

A normal person with singular thoughts can become and look like celebrities.

Your wanting your pancakes brown will make them brown.

It's men's thought that created bubbly champagne.

If you repress a thought, it might disappear or pop in the figurative sense.

An antipathy can make you go ballistic or pop in the figurative sense.



And then i also found this one:

This is just my point of view but they say that 97% of Harvard graduates don't get it but 84% of kindergarten kids do under 6 miniutes. So that leads me to believe God. I was just thinking about it today. Because kids think on a simpler level than most Harvard graduates do. From my experiences most kids believe in God, and that God can do anything, so they would pick that answer. But the graduate wouldn't because they would think on much more complex terms, they would not say God because as you get older you realize that religion is a much more controversial and complicated thing so people would be more hesitant to pick that as an answer. Sorry I gave you a long, boring, jumbled explaination for that answer.

thinking right outsided the box though...and as an answer we auditors often use as a "smarty pants answer".....

The last line is "can you guess the riddle" which is termed as a "closed question" which can only be answered as a YES or NO....

If someone was to ask me I would say YES......

If pressed for the answer for the riddle I might get it wrong...but I still answered the first question...

That's only when they've been rolling in yellow snow!!!

[tdevil]

That is correct TG, I never thought of it that way.
Smart ass

Warning: Dont eat the yellow snow...

No, polar bears are actually black - no, really! Their fur is pretty much clear and their skin is black. This allows their fur to act sort of fibre-optically, and channel the sunlight (and hence warmth) down to their skin (black absorbs the heat). They can sometimes overheat when it's sunny, despite the air temperature.

Wow - cool! (or not... )

When a Polar Bear chases you it turns brown

The workers version from Mt Hotham (and beyond?) being "Say no to yellow snow"

[Happy]

When a Polar Bear chases you it turns brown

it turns brown or your undies turn brown

[Sagerian]

I imagine that's cause and effect.. If your undies go brown than surely whatever might be trailing you also turns brown... At least that's what I got out of that post.
