What has a face and two hands but no body?
Answer: A clock.
A traditional clock has a face where the numbers are displayed and two main hands that point to the hour and minute. But of course, it has no human body.
The riddle works by using human words—“face” and “hands”—to describe parts of an everyday object.
At first, the clue encourages you to imagine a person or creature. Once you think of objects that also have a face and hands, the answer becomes obvious.
So the classic answer is a clock.
