SOLVE THE RIDDLE

Post by Suzuki Johnny »

Today's riddle for seniors...
Here is the situation:

You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed.



On your right side is a sharp drop-off.



On your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you.



Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it.



Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the kangaroo.



What must you do to get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Only thing is,...a horse that is at a "gallop"....is really much faster than any sustained speed of an elephant..... :uhh:

That is,...Technically speaking, of course. :bow:

Shoot the lion!!!
There will be a time where you will no longer be able to use, "But...I didn't know!", as an excuse. And if you're exiled from society, well, you were warned.

A riddle for seniors. Therein lies the answer to the riddle.
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury…
Signifying nothing”

Signifying monkey, stay up in your tree. Always lying and signifying, but you better not monkey with me.

Last hit was 1993 when I put down regular and left hand smokes. [emoji41] Scared if I do a hit again may start red and white pack again and that was so hard to stop. School bus job was drug test any time they wanted and I was only one riding a motorcycle to work and only one with beard so I got checked a lot first year. Of course it was just luck of the draw :lmao: . Hauling all those kids you needed a drink often! :putput:

And, if the elephant is on the inside track of the merry go round, it is moving faster than the horse. [emoji2]

Actually it's moving at a much slower pace than the horse......it's circular path is smaller than the circular path of the horse...

OR Are they moving at the same pace?? [emoji106] :blink:
