2546: The Ride of the Great Moon Snail

What makes a riddle good is either finding or being told the answer and knowing, absolutely without a doubt, that that is the best possible answer. For instance, the cake problem has several answers, some of which are better than others. Like, "Eat the entire cake, then cut the empty space into equal pieces of nothing!" is not a good answer. [The one prismo gave is the "correct" one as far as it relates to me, but there is at least one other that allows for sixteen equal pieces with four cuts, or thirty-two with five, etc. which I find even more impractical.]

On that note, here's a silly one XDHow come Chinese people eat more rice than Americans?
It reminds me of the joke about the pirate with the steering wheel on his crotch. "It's driving me nuts!" XDXDXD That is, the answer is logical but silly.

I'm glad y'all are enjoying the riddles, even if some of them are crap =p
