This classic riddle asks: What has a neck but no head?
At first, it sounds like the answer should be a person or an animal, because we usually think of a neck as part of a body. But the trick is to think of everyday objects that also have something called a neck.
The answer is a bottle.
A bottle has a narrow upper section called the neck, but of course it has no head. That simple wordplay is what makes this riddle so effective. It sounds like a question about anatomy, but the solution comes from a common object we see all the time.
Answer: A bottle.
