What is the end to which we all like to come?

Dividend

Why this works

The riddle plays on the word "dividend," which has a double meaning. In mathematics and finance, a dividend is a sum of money paid regularly by a company to its shareholders, representing a portion of its profits—something everyone strives to receive or "come" to in terms of financial gain. Additionally, when we think of the phrase "the end to which we all like to come," it hints at a desirable outcome or reward, which a dividend certainly represents, making it a clever twist on both financial terminology and our common pursuits.

Common Wrong Answers

“Retirement”

While retirement is often considered the end goal for many in terms of work, it does not fit the concept of a 'dividend' which is a financial term related to profit sharing.

“Death”

Although death is often referred to as the end of life, it does not relate to the financial context implied by the term 'dividend', which is a reward for investment.

“Success”

Success is a subjective concept and not a tangible outcome like a dividend. A dividend is specifically a financial term, indicating a portion of earnings distributed to shareholders.
