(UPI) --The giraffe riddle going around on Facebook is not a scam, in support of any cause, or a sign that your friends computer has been hacked. Its the result of a viral social media game in which users change their Facebook profiles to pictures of giraffes if theyve incorrectly answered a riddle. Users who get the answer wrong are asked to change their Facebook profile to a giraffe for three days, in the interest of confusing or intriguing the online community into playing the game. Heres the riddle: It’s 3 a.m., the doorbell rings and you wake up. Unexpected visitors! It’s your parents and they are here for breakfast. You have strawberry jam, honey, wine, bread and cheese. What is the first thing you open? Its unclear what the riddle has to do with giraffes, except that theyre cute and random enough for an Internet culture that likes corgis, hedgehogs and slow lorises. According to the CBC, the Great Giraffe Riddle Challenge started with a New Zealand video blogger named Andrew Strugnell. Heres Strugnells original post, which potential game-players are encouraged to repost on their own pages: Ive changed my profile to a giraffe. I tried to answer a riddle and got it wrong. Try the great giraffe challenge! The deal is I give you a riddle. You get it right you get to keep your profile pic. You get it wrong and you change your profile pic to a Giraffe for the next 3 days. MESSAGE ME ONLY SO YOU DONT GIVE OUT THE ANSWER. Remember... message me only. If you get it right Ill post your name here. If you get it wrong change your profile pic. .
