Why Do We Use ‘Riddles’ in Philosophy and Logic?

Riddles are like fun brain games that help us think deeper. Imagine a riddle that makes you question what's real and what's not, that’s how philosophers use them to teach big ideas! Riddles are tricky questions that make your brain work hard, just like solving a puzzle. When people answer riddles, they’re learning how to think in new ways.
