    We can do it in white colour, I guess : >ответ<

    I won't give the answer yet. Tell me is it too hard or too easy that noone answers?

    Just for example, here is a riddle from British version of this game:

    This horse never goes out during the day, but it can easily wake you up.

    I've found the answer rather quickly though I'm not a native speaker. I assume my riddle is not much harder, so give it a try!

    We can't, because there's "Activity stream" where posts are shown without formats, so everyone who reads the stream will see the answer.

    I've found an answer in less then a minute, but for non-native speakers it would be a challenge - to find the answer your active dictionary should be really big.

    But text inside QUOTE tags is not shown in the activity stream! So, you can put the answer in QUOTE tags, and then put COLOR tags around the quoted answer so that it matches the pale-blue background of quoted text. For example:

    "What's black and white and red all over?"


    Traditional answer:
    1. A newspaper (it's "read" all over)
    Alternate answers:
    2. A Communist zebra
    3. A skunk in tomato sauce
    4. A blushing penguin
    5. A Catholic nun having her monthly "period"
