"You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

In front of you is a galloping horse, which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a galloping zebra. Both the horse and zebra are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? "

slam on the brakes and kill the zebra,

after both the fire engine and horse gallop off pull off road and cook up zebra steaks

but the airplane will not take off

12/22/2008 12:55:14 PM

Slow down and hope the zebra slows down too?

12/22/2008 12:55:29 PM

call 911 and say there is a fire so the firetruck will speed up or change its course.

12/22/2008 12:56:25 PM

I always thought merry-go-rounds were playground equipment


I never realized it was also a synonym for a carousel.

12/22/2008 1:05:34 PM

keep going, because if they're at your speed then there is no reason to pass them.

" Can you solve this puzzle? You are riding on a beautiful white horse. On your left side is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion.

IIRC carousels go one way and merry-go-rounds go another (Clockwise vs. Counterclockwise). Not sure which way a merry go round goes, but it could be an incorrect answer to your riddle.
