>4 (p. 79) “Why is a raven like a writing-desk?”: Carroll provided an answer to this riddle: “Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is nevar [sic] put with the wrong end in front!” (see p. 3).

Of course originally it wasn't supposed to have an answer at all, just a bullshit question that sounds like a real riddle. I think it's interesting how people have come up with valid answers and some of them are even good
