This classic riddle describes something that sounds almost like a person: it has a neck and two sleeves, but no head and no arms.
The trick is to think about an everyday object that uses those same words for its parts. Clothing gives us the clue. A shirt has a neck opening and two sleeves, but it obviously has no actual head or arms of its own.
Answer: A shirt.
It is a simple riddle once the wording clicks, but the human-like description often sends people in the wrong direction at first. The next time you hear a riddle describing body parts, it may be worth thinking about objects that borrow those same names.
