riddles	t3_ncusr	c38fh4t	It's a statement with a question mark at the end, making it a request for conformation. Think of it this way, if instead of "what," the riddle was "Bananas is not the answer to this riddle?"

It's a statement with a question mark at the end, making it a request for conformation. Think of it this way, if instead of "what," the riddle was "Bananas is not the answer to this riddle?" Then the only correct way to respond would be "Yes, bananas is *not* the answer to that riddle."

I think you accidentally a word. EDIT: It's fairly common in English to add a question mark to the end of a non-question sentence, to turn it into a request for confirmation. Whether it's technically "good English" or not, I wont comment on. But people do speak like that.
