Silence, if broken it still exists. Maybe the person that told you this riddle told it wrong, they refers to 2 or more, it refers to just 1, nothing can be many and one at the same time. Unless its something you can actually touch and break into more than one piece in which the answer can't be time, sound, silence.

Hi All,

I said the answer is "SAND". Why can't it be?

1. Although Broken : SANDS = BROKEN PIECES OF STONE
2. Always exist and surround us : Ofcourse, Yes; Sand always exist and surround us
3. Don't like to be confined in them : It is true that sand break further into small particles. So they are not confined to the same state.
4.They shall outlive us all : This is also true that sand outlive us


So, sand pass all criteria given in the riddle. Now, can anyone dispute my answer? If so in what way? and Why?

Don't envy about my brilliance? (HE,HE, HE, HE ..................................HE)

Is this a mistake or is it written like this on purpose?

"Although broken, IT shall always exist and surround us, don't like to be confined in THEM and THEY shall outlive us all. What are THEY?"

And has anybody guessed it correctly yet?
