Easy answer...Google it. That's how you solve every riddle. Want a challenge? Find a riddle that cant be found on Google.

How can you assume that? The fish might be in a pond too deep for the cat to fish in. The cat owner might also find fish to be too much work.

Hes right 98% of people cannot solve it.

I probably could have solved it if I had tried, I am pretty good at problem solving and riddles, but why bother? Part of good problem solving is knowing how to research. I had the answer in under a minute without even reading the whole question. My answer to everything is Google it. I am yet to find a problem Google can't solve.

I challenge anyone to find a riddle that can't be solved with Google.

Then you didn't solve it. You merely used someone else's answer. In the programming field you are called copy and paste monkeys.

True, but I didn't care enough to put in the effort to solve it, my giving a **** was limited to be willing to type it into my Google search bar.

Does it really matter how the answer was found? And I didn't put an answer in so I didn't ruin it for people who did want to solve it right. But does the method of achieving a goal make a difference if the final result is the same?

 

[Kuro Tamashi]

You can assume it because cats eat fish. And it never states the fish is a pet. You just assume it is. Therefore leaving the riddle with two possible answers.

Not at all. My coding instructors from time to time still have to use google for answers in coding. And one has been doing it for 42+ years. Google is there to make finding the answer seasier why not use it ^^
