Here's a riddle I came across online. The answer is easier than it may seem.

What is greater than God,
More evil than the devil,
the poor have it,
the rich need it,
and if you eat it, you'll die?
Alastor the Stylish
Hey! I made a cool game! It's called "I poisoned half the food, so if you eat you might die!" Have a taco.

Oh, so sorry. You'll have to forgive me as I'm new here. And I'm sure not everyone has heard it.

S'ok, was a good try. Feel free to post more puzzles in here, but you might want to try for more obscure or original puzzles.

I'm probably missing something here, but why do the rich need nothing?

Don't mess with powers you don't understand.

And yes. That means donuts.

The poor always have something. They have life, usually clothes, and must get food sometimes to survive.

I know the answer "nothing" is accepted for the sake of the riddle, but the answer isn't intirly true

Also, technecally you can "eat" nothing and still live. The definition of "eating" is the act of consuming food. If you were IV'd, then you wouldn't really be consuming would you? You would be injected.

Anyway, doesn't matter. I didn't get the answer to this the very first time I heard it either.
