If you find that many of your Facebook friends have an adorable giraffe as their profile picture, it’s because they failed to answer the following riddle:
“3:00 in the morning, the doorbell rings and you wake up. Unexpected visitors. They are your parents and they are there for breakfast. You have strawberry jam, honey, wine, bread and cheese. What do you open first?”
Friends are encouraged to send their responses to the update poster via private message (don’t ruin the sport by publicly commenting on the response!).

And of course, last March we saw users in droves change their profile photos to a red equals sign, in support of marriage equality. There’s been a lot of debate about whether this kind of activism (or slacktivism, as many have called it) can really make an impact, though it certainly draws attention.
While most pictivism campaigns have a philanthropic or awareness focus at their centers, the giraffe puzzle on Facebook doesn’t seem to have a specific or official purpose, other than to promote fun and giraffes.
And yes, although you can certainly look up the answer (all I had to type into Google was giraffe and it generated search queries like “giraffe riddle” and “giraffe challenge”) and send it to your friends participating in the challenge, a A small part of you will always know what a liar you are.
