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

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
. Hauling all those kids you needed a drink often!

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]
