What Riddle Was Solved with the Clue Everywhere?

[JamesU]

You might have heard this one, oh well, kinda easy.

Once a man claimed that nobody could solve his riddle. It was, what is the answer. He gave them one hint-"the answer is everywhere" one person took a guess and got it right.

What was the answer and why was it so hard?

The exact wording of the riddle was: "What is the answer."
Is that correct? (I wasn't sure from your post).

Sorry, I didn't really think that through... let me do it again:

One man claimed that nobody could solve his riddle. People had to figure out what "the answer" was. he gave them one big hint: " 'the answer' is everywhere"...

This reminds me of an old TV program called "You Bet Your Life". Groucho would tell his guests "Say de secret woid an win a huner dollas". A far as I know, no one ever said "the secret word".

"What is 'Everywhere'"? For a million dollars, Alex. I will take that in tens and twenties.
