“What am I?” riddles are always popular and the one that asks the question, “I shave every day but my beard stays the same. What am I?” is an example that stumps a lot of people.
After all, if you shave every day surely you must be shaving your beard? The key to solving this riddle is to understand that this isn’t actually the case! The riddle doesn’t explicitly state that you shave yourself every day, does it?
So can you think of someone who shaves other people every day? If so, you’ll find the solution to the riddle!
I shave every day but my beard stays the same. What am I?
A barber can shave (other people) every day without changing his beard.
