Common Wrong Answers

“A key”

A key physically goes into a lock and comes out again, whereas a keyhole itself does not move.

“Light”

While light can pass through a door when it is open, it does not go through a keyhole in the sense intended by the riddle.

“A shadow”

A shadow can appear on either side of a door but does not pass through the keyhole itself.
