@Goretantath I wasn't fooled by the riddle, you were just fooled into thinking the author's answer makes any more sense than the one he mocked. It doesn't, and you cannot present any criteria by which it does, since the mocked answer fits both the initial statement of the riddle (using easy as a descriptor) and the latter half as an answer to the question, making it necessarily correct, whereas your answer fits only the initial statement and is complete nonsense with regard to the rest, making it objectively more incorrect if anything.
