What's the difference between a funny riddle and a joke?

Can funny riddles be used as icebreakers?

Absolutely — they're one of the best icebreakers around. They give people something to puzzle over together, they're non-threatening, and the punchline answer creates a shared laugh. Great for meetings, parties, classrooms, and first dates.
