Riddle for Seniors

I know some of you are not considered seniors. Thought you might enjoy this any way.




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?


See answer below ..............








Get off the merry-go-round and go home, you've had enough excitement for one day!

I had a feeling it was most likely a merry-go-round cause I remember riding one when I was kid.

I also rode one up at Cedar Point when my son was a baby.Some rides didn't go very fast which was fine with me.rolling on the floor laughing

Hi Jim.wave

If you hadn't given the answer mine would have been ...

The horse is the fastest and the elephant the slowest...half the speed of a horse.

Only the lion and the kangaroo are slightly slower than the horse.

So...what's the problem ? confused
If you want to make a quick escape you could jump on the elephant and let the lion sort the rest out.
The simplest method is: Get off the merry-go-round and go home, you've had enough excitement for one day!rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
