What do you call a 100-year-old ant?

An antique

Why this works

This riddle plays on the double meaning of the word "antique." In one sense, "antique" refers to an object that is at least 100 years old, often valuable due to its age and rarity. In the other sense, it cleverly combines the word "ant" with the idea of aging, creating a whimsical image of a century-old ant. So, when you put these ideas together, you get a delightful pun that makes the answer both amusing and clever!

Common Wrong Answers

“A fossil”

A fossil refers to the preserved remains of ancient organisms, not specifically to an old ant.

“An old bug”

While an ant is indeed a bug, the term 'old bug' does not play on the word 'antique' and lacks the clever wordplay of the riddle.

“A relic”

A relic generally refers to an object of historical interest or significance, but it does not specifically relate to the concept of an antique.
