What is the answer to this riddle. If this is a stick and this is a stick is this a stick?

The answer seems to be that the answer to whether or not if it is a stick or not depends on how the asker begins the question. Let's say the phrase is "Okay". Then if the asker begins by saying something like -- Okay, now... if this is a stick... and this is not a stick .... and this is a stick... Then is this a stick? the answer depends on if the asker interjected the Word "Okay" or not in the statement or question. The phrase may vary in circles. The Word may be "listen" or "now". The key is listen for a common phrase that was used when the asker tell the guess whether "it" is a stick or not.

It really does not depend on if a stick is really uses or not an can confuse guessers even more when a finger is a stick or a real stick is not a stick!

By the way you ask this question you've just answered it yourself, because if this is a stick and this is a stick the other thing must be a stick too.
