This clever riddle asks:
“What can pass through glass without breaking it?”
At first, you might imagine something physically moving through a window. Most solid objects would either bounce off the glass or shatter it, so the question seems impossible.
The trick is to think about something that travels through transparent glass every single day without damaging it.
Sunlight enters through windows and fills a room while the glass remains completely intact. Artificial light can pass through clear glass in the same way.
That makes the answer surprisingly simple once you stop thinking about solid objects.
Answer: Light.
Glass allows visible light to pass through it, which is why we can see through windows in the first place. The wording makes the riddle sound like something must physically punch through the glass, but nothing needs to be broken at all.
Did you guess light before checking the answer?
