The Ocean Can’t Win This One 🌊

Dive into today’s riddle: “What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn’t fill it up?”

October 08, 2025

Here’s a fun fact to tickle your neurons: the word “riddle” comes from an Old English term meaning “to interpret or explain.” Which means every time you solve one, you’re basically doing ancient detective work. 🕵️‍♀️

Today’s puzzle is the kind that pretends to be simple… until you realize your brain just took a left turn into Confusionville. It’s short, it’s sly, and it might make you mutter, “Wait—what?” before that glorious lightbulb moment hits. 💡

Take a deep breath, summon your inner Sherlock, and let’s see if you can decode today’s trickster.
