This clever riddle asks:
“What has a bottom at the top and a top at the bottom?”
The wording sounds impossible at first because we normally expect the top and bottom of something to be on opposite ends.
The trick is to think about the human body.
The answer is:
Your legs.
Your “bottom” is located at the top of your legs. Then look all the way down to the other end: your feet are at the bottom of your legs, with the tops of your feet right there.
That playful use of the words “top” and “bottom” is what makes the riddle work. Instead of describing one ordinary object, it uses body-part positions to turn the wording upside down.
It is the kind of riddle that sounds confusing until the answer clicks, and then suddenly seems obvious.
Answer: Your legs.
