A riddle wrapped in a mystery

The riddle, shared is not your average brain teaser. In fact, the answer lies hidden within the structure of the riddle itself. The challenge encourages readers to pay attention to the wording, and to focus on phrases that suggest the answer is buried within the text. The clue?

At first glance, it seems like a tricky puzzle that might take some serious mental gymnastics to solve. But the more you dissect the riddle, the clearer the solution becomes — if you're paying close enough attention.
