You walk into a room with a rabbit holding a carrot, a pig eating slop, and a chimp holding a banana.Which animal in the room is the smartest?

You, hopefully.

Why this works

The riddle plays on the expectation that you will focus on the animals in the room, leading you to think about their intelligence. However, the twist is that the riddle is actually asking about who is the smartest of all: "you," the person reading or hearing the riddle. This clever wordplay makes you realize that the answer is not about the animals at all but emphasizes the importance of human intelligence and awareness.

Common Wrong Answers

“The rabbit”

While rabbits are clever in their own right, the riddle implies that the smartest entity in the room is actually the human, not any of the animals.

“The chimp”

Chimps are known for their intelligence, but the riddle is designed to point to the human as the smartest being present, making this guess incorrect.

“The pig”

Pigs are also considered intelligent animals, but the riddle's answer emphasizes that the human is the smartest, not the animals.
