“What can be right in front of you and still be impossible to see?” This classic riddle is not asking about an invisible physical object. Instead, “in front of you” refers to something that lies ahead in time.
Answer: The future.
Your future is always ahead of you, but you cannot literally see it before it happens. You can make plans, predictions and guesses about what may come next, but the future itself remains unseen. The riddle works because it shifts the meaning of “in front” from physical space to time.
