Riddle - the Joe-kster's definition:
1. A question or statement used to exercise one's ingenuity in answering it or discovering its meaning;
2. A puzzling question, problem, matter, fact, thing, or person;
3. A question or event of puzzling nature that requires you to think of an answer. Some riddles are a
type of joe-k. Other riddles are really challenging...
Duh! A riddle uses language in a way that makes common things seem unfamiliar -
like a mystery that you have to solve, with the riddle giving you the clues...
