If a rooster lays two eggs, one white and one brown, what will be the color of the chicks that will hatch?
Most would come up with an answer saying they will be a combination of white and brown or either white or brown.
Well, the answer will make you feel dumb. There can’t be any chicks from the eggs, as roosters don’t lay eggs!
This is what I find unique about dumb riddles. They can make you think you can come up with a good answer. But in reality, the answer would be silly and downright hilarious – perfect for making you laugh like there is no tomorrow.
Riddles are timeless. They not only make your mood lighter but also make your brain work.
