Title: Genius sees the answer before the question
Post by alien2 on Jul 4^th, 2017, 2:11pm

How to say the answer to a riddle before a riddle-maker poses it?

The easiest way is [hide]by being the riddlemaker!
I'll bet you knew the answer to this riddle before you posed it[/hide].

Dudiobugtron's guess makes sense, some sense, whilst towr's guess/tease/solution I don't quite follow at the moment. Btw, the intended answer is pretty shallow and there's nothing original about it.

[hide]Jeopardy! is a quiz-game where you get the answer, and then have to say what the question was.[/hide]

Just say the answer, man. It's easy. Don't be shy now. Come on. Open up. Say those two lovely words, be it 'love you' or something entirely else..

42 is the answer of a question yet to be asked.

This is the most valuable statement in science and the beginning of wisdom. And yet, it isn't the answer to this or any riddle.

I always though it was 41.

I'd love to say the answer before the question, but since I've already posed the question, what would be the point?

Can you say the answer to a riddle before a riddle-maker poses it?

Here is my riddle: "What was the first post of this thread"

And ... Yes! ... this is increddible! ... Alien2 already gave the correct answer to this riddle, and even before I asked it. Do these guys have time travel technology? Hats off!

I have said many, many things in my life. Some of them are things which happen to be answers to riddles.
