The easiest way is by being the riddlemaker! I'll bet you knew the answer to this riddle before you posed it.

Dudiobugtron's guess makes sense, some sense, whilst towr's guess/tease/solution I don't quite follow at the moment. Btw, the intended answer is pretty shallow and there's nothing original about it.

Jeopardy! is a quiz-game where you get the answer, and then have to say what the question was.

Just say the answer, man. It's easy. Don't be shy now. Come on. Open up. Say those two lovely words, be it 'love you' or something entirely else..

I'd love to say the answer before the question, but since I've already posed the question, what would be the point?

Can you say the answer to a riddle before a riddle-maker poses it?

And ... Yes! ... this is increddible! ... Alien2 already gave the correct answer to this riddle, and even before I asked it. Do these guys have time travel technology? Hats off!

I have said many, many things in my life. Some of them are things which happen to be answers to riddles.
