So u obviously didn't work it out yourself - be honest now! I didn't.

It's not a bad wee riddle, but the whole thing about kindergartners solving it (they can't READ yet in most cases!) vs Stanford graduates not getting it is definitely in the urban legend category.

I managed it but didn't find it easy.

[HarmonyQueen]

It took a matter of minutes to figure it out.

[katarina]

ok, clever clogs, try this one.

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

[Bobinovich]

EYE! Took about 30 seconds and no cheating...chuffed!

Yar, that was easier I think.

[slydog]

Okay answer this one;

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three regularly used words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."
