Good morning

Good morning, dear members, and happy Thursday! I (Athena) hope you're having a great morning! If not, that’s okay. Not every day is perfect, and I recently learned that embracing imperfect days makes me appreciate the good ones more. Anyhow, are you ready to know the answer to yesterday’s riddle?

What can be opened and closed, but no human has ever passed through it?

The official answer is a 'mouth', but kudos to those who submitted other possible answers. We have a shout-out for you below! Up next is a Fascinating Fact: Did you know Russia has 11 time zones? Due to its vast size, the country adopted this system in 1919, resulting in time differences of up to 10 hours between the east and west.
