Hello, and thanks for your addition. However, I am sure you agree that examples of riddles do not merit an own article. Please see WP:NOTABILITY for Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have nominated this article for speedy deletion as a housekeeping task. You can merge the content that you added to it with riddle if you feel like it. Here is a copy of the material that you added to the new article, in case it is deleted:
