Sometimes riddles only make sense if you look at it poetically. And usually it may still not make sense until someone says "okay, this is supposed to be this, and that is like that, which is why" which sounds like a class lecture just to understand them.

Strangely enough I like riddles even when I'm not all that good at solving them.

I just can't process information like that. Ever since I was young, I've always looked at things very literally. Sometimes I might not even catch a play on words that's been shoved into my face until months or years later, because I only see it as how the word is being used in a literal sense, not how it could be interpreted.

An example that comes to mind is a riddle that asks what has four legs, then two legs, then three legs throughout its life (I don't remember the exact wording), with the answer being humans. Crawling when they're babies, then walking on two legs, then when they're old they use a cane. And when I saw that answer, my very first response was, "That's a cane, not a leg."

Yeah, I can see how that's difficult to comprehend. Riddles often use a play on words, or use analogies that can be hard to interpret. And if you take information literally, it's understandable how you'd have a lot of trouble with them.

Try describing something.

From "Ducktales 2017", Describe "Nothing".

Nothing is:

"I am more powerful than the gods. More evil than then demons. The rich want me, the poor have me, and if you eat me, you will surely die!"

Bam, you have a riddle you can torment people with.

See. My answer would simply be that nothing is self-explanatory. Nothing is nothing. There's nothing more to it than that, because if there was, then it would no longer be nothing, but rather something.

I never really been a riddle person. I can solve them, but I sure can't design any, just use ones that already exist like:

What has to be broken before you can use it?
or
What month of the year has 28 days?

Well the month thing is obviously February since it's the only one that's fewer than 30. Although you probably shouldn't be breaking things before using them.

Eggs need to be broke to cook.
And
All of them. It doesn't specify it being "only" 28.

Hard boiled eggs shouldn't be broken before being cooked.

And the question asks how many days, which implies to total number of days by its own wording, as opposed to asking which has at least that many days.
