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?

1. If a rooster lays an egg on a barn, which side does the eggs fall?

2. What invention lets you walk through walls?

These are ones for the kiddies so this should be easy to work out.

Nothing. My original thought was 'money', but you don't die when you eat money... Do you?

It's nothing.


I figured it out by reading the rich & poor clauses though, because man is both greater than God (who may or may not exist) and more evil than Satan (who may or may not exist.) At least, in my opinion, the possibility of nonexistence make the greatness or morality of these beings sketchy.

The poor have nothing, and the rich need nothing. Therefore, the answer is nothing.
