Not wrong. Google up your riddle. You'll see dozens of references to
it, in at least three different versions. You would have needed to
reword your riddle for the most common trick answer, "language", to
make any logical sense.

Most of the references to your riddle remark either that it's a flawed
riddle without any actual answer.
