Hello, I’m James and this is my blog, ‘James Proclaims’.
I enjoy a riddle as much as anyone, but you won’t find one here.
Certainly you won’t find the ‘World’s Most Difficult Riddle’. I don’t know what that is. But I would imagine that if 10% of people can solve a riddle then it would be unlikely to be the world’s most difficult. If only 10% of people can solve something then it probably is quite difficult but anyone with even the most rudimentary grasp of statistics would know that 10% of people is still quite a lot of people.
One would imagine that the world’s hardest riddle would be virtually impossible to all but a very select few. I wouldn’t want to guess at the percentage, but the most difficult concepts are probably only accessible to people who are even smarter than me. If you can believe that such people exist.
Maybe there isn’t even a ‘World’s Most Difficult Riddle’. Maybe there are a few riddles that are equally hard. Maybe certain kinds of riddles are easier for certain types of people than they are for others, but if you had a different kind of riddle then it would be different people who find that easy or difficult respectively.
I don’t really care to be honest. I’m just writing this so that there is a post to go with my ‘click-bait’ title. Because writing click-bait titles once a week is a thing I currently do.
I don’t know why.
Maybe that is the ‘World’s Most Difficult Riddle’.
Although it obviously isn’t.

Congratulations. You can officially now claim to be smarter than 90% of all people. But why stop there? If you but my new book of riddles you will be able to become even smarter. And I’m currently offering a special time discount to smart people.

Don’t worry, you still might be smarter than 89% of people. Why not buy my new book and find out?

Is that the one that says 74% of all statistics are made up on the spot?

No, my book would never say that. It’s not a commercially viable sentiment

I think it has a kind of “truthy” feel to it, though.

You might want to consider changing up the click bait post day or else it takes a lot away from the “click bait”

The thorough and in-depth research I did beforehand says that Wednesday is the best day for click bait and I’d have thought it would be obvious why.

Well 10% of people are left-handed, so clearly this is a riddle meant for us sinister folk …

I am ambidextrous. How does that affect my chances? There is only one thing I know about the world’s most difficult riddle (and this is the one thing I know about the world’s most difficult riddle) if you don’t know the answer – guess. Your chances of being right are exactly the same as anybody else’s.
