Answer: Solve this Tricky Brain Teaser Riddle in 11 Seconds

The answer would be a clock.

 A clock has hands, the hour hand and the minute hand, but no thumbs, as they are not really human hands.

 A clock has a face, which is the place with numbers and moving hands, but no eyes or mouth like a real face.

 A clock ticks when it keeps time but does not "speak." It is a riddle using many meanings of words like "hands" and "face"; this is a clever example of the use of wordplay.

Did you get the correct answer? Fantastic! If not, that's the point of riddles! They are designed to challenge you and have fun at the same time.
