A:
While it is fine, a riddle like this shouldn't really have such a good clue like,
"It is seen on playgrounds."
...unless it is for children then that is fine.
To to be a bit more cryptic like,
"It is the same up as it is down."
OR
"An apparatus where the larger man may have to look up at those that have less mass."
But that's just me being picky as it still sounds fine. 👍🏼
