Defying Gravity
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I can do things you think defy physics.
Like rock a cradle and go around the world.
I can be weighted and work or be broken and still work.
And I am hot as fire or cold as ice.

Hint
Think about the title: what it does and what goes against it.Answer
A yo-yo!It defies gravity by going up instead of down.
Rock a cradle and around the world are tricks.
Weighted and broken refer to different yo-yo styles (weighted and off-string), and hot as fire or cold as ice are brand names (pyro and frost)
