Lateral Thinking Questions

ANSWER: L.T.Q. #19

Date: Wednesday, November 01, 1995 11:46AM

Well, I just flew in from Indianapolis, and boy are my arms tired!

Although a postcard I sent said something about Indiana being famous for farmers, cattle, pigs, soya beans, and corn, I didn't see any of them. At least not in their original, natural state. Didn't see any horses, either. I did have a terrific "Amish Chicken & Corn Soup." Yummmmm-my!

Here is this week's question:

A horse is tied to a five meter rope in front of an old saloon. Six meters behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking his rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?

ANSWER:

The rope is not tied to anything else.

Sort of sounds like marriage, doesn't it?
