To add to Bonjovi♦'s comment: usually people downvote riddles in a form like yours is at the moment. I'll edit it so people can see behind form ;) — Avigrail, Jul 27 '16 at 11:31
Thanks for edit @Avigrail and I think my linkedin profile is well linked. Which is the problem, it doesn't appear to you? — Mateo Hermosilla, Jul 27 '16 at 11:36
That riddle appears on page 58 of Howard's Book of Conundrums and Riddles, copyright 1869. So it's significantly more than 100 years old! — Juan Tomas, Jul 27 '16 at 20:35

The answer is

M

Because

M comes once in every minute, twice in each moment and never in a hundred years

Many would downvote the riddle because it is so short but as we can see it has a very clever solution! Well done – Avigrail Jul 27 '16 at 11:26
The wording in your answer is how the question should have been phrased. The letter M does not repeat once in the word minute, it repeats zero times. – Nuclear Hoagie Jul 27 '16 at 18:13
