Whatever it is won't teach you much about science.

logic??? i don't know
The riddle you mentioned goes like this: "99% 1st graders get it right, 5% MBA's get it right. Rich do not have it, the poor have it. More powerful than God, and if you eat it, you die. What is it?"
The answer to this riddle is "Nothing."
Let me explain why:
1. "99% 1st graders get it right, 5% MBA's get it right": This implies that the answer is something that is straightforward for young children but may be more difficult for people with advanced degrees or higher levels of education.
2. "Rich do not have it, the poor have it": This suggests that the answer is something intangible, rather than a physical possession. The rich may have material wealth, but they do not possess "nothing."
3. "More powerful than God": This is a metaphorical statement that emphasizes the absence of something, like "nothing," as being all-encompassing and more significant than even the most powerful entity.
4. "If you eat it, you die": This is a play on words. When you "eat" nothing, you are essentially consuming emptyness, which is a concept rather than a tangible substance. The idea here is that nothingness leads to non-existence or death, highlighting the significance of "nothing."
In conclusion, the answer to the riddle is "nothing." The riddle plays with language, metaphors, and wordplay to make the answer more challenging to discern.
