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?

Do you know what it is?

That happens when matters overcomplicated, while the simple answers are dismissed.

Simpler is better.

The reason why younger kids can answer this question is because they know nothing is greater than God. They stop right there. Everyone else listens to the riddle before thinking of their answer.
