Can you answer the riddle?"

Note: Survey shows that 84% of Harvard students weren't able to answer this riddle correctly but 97% of Kindergarten students were able to give the right answer.

The answer is simply TIME OR WATER.
Reply to Note: The answer isnt pressure. Kindergarteners wouldn't think of that as an answer. Notice at the end of the riddle how there's a question, "Can you answer the riddle?". The answer to the riddle is simply "No." The reason kindergarteners beat Harvard grads is because kindergarteners are honest enough to say "No I can't answer this." The Harvard grads tried to think of some scientific explanation, but they didn't really look into the question good enough. The real answer is probably "No." Yes, there are explanations like pressure, but the maker of the riddle might not have thought about that. The reason it's called the world's hardest riddle is because people try to think of an answer more complex than the word "No."
