Nope. Tip: Mark's answer was closer to it than yours. :)
I've never had much patience with riddles. They always seem so contrived to me. Contrived and quite often leaky as hell. I mean, look at the riddle of the Sphinx. Faced with that absurdly cobbled-together attempt at a puzzle, any traveller with a modicum of gumption would flip the Sphinx the finger and tell him - or possibly her - to spin on it, then gee up the camel and head for the first pub on Thebes High Street.

Here's one that forms a snippet of backstory in a fiction piece of mine.....
The second-born of a pair of twins is older than the first-born, having been born in a different country and a different year.
