When [[Only Smart People May Pass]], a challenge is often given in the form of a riddle. The solution to said riddle is often, in itself, the means by which the characters may continue.
Line 11:
This sort of riddle game is sometimes also used for other purposes than determining whether someone may pass. For example, it may be for a reward of an item or information.
 
[[Sub-Trope|Sub Tropes]]s include [[Riddling Sphinx]] (the tendency of sphinxes to do this), [[Riddle of the Sphinx]] (a particular riddle that's very popular), [[These Questions Three]] (combining this trope with the [[Rule of Three]]).
 
Not to be confused with the popular comedy podcast ''[[Answer Me This]]''.
