Paul Harvey RIDDLE:

Got a chain email with this riddle in it took me at least 10 minutes to figure it out...

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?

But like Grdenko, I would've done it eventually, too, because it would have bugged me.

reminds me of

Nobody

Nobody loves me,
Nobody cares,
Nobody picks me peaches and pears.
Nobody offers me candy and Cokes,
Nobody listens and laughs at my jokes.
Nobody helps when I get in a fight,
Nobody does all my homework at night.
Nobody misses me,
Nobody cries,
Nobody thinks I'm a wonderful guy.
So if you ask me who's my best friend, in a whiz,
I'll stand up and tell you that Nobody is.
But yesterday night I got quite a scare,
I woke up and Nobody just wasn't there.
I called out and reached out for Nobody's hand,
In the darkness where Nobody usually stands.
Then I poked through the house, in each cranny and nook,
But I found somebody each place that I looked.
I searched till I'm tired, and now with the dawn,
There's no doubt about it-
Nobody's gone!
By Shel Silverstein

A) Yes. That is right.
B) I didn't cheat. It's logical if you think about one of the few things that rich people need and poor people have.
