Title: Puzzle
Post by peteHull on May 15^th, 2008, 10:03am

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.

On your left side is a 'drop off', (The ground is 18-20 inches below
the level you are travelling on), and on your right side is a fire
engine travelling at the same speed as you.

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
travelling at the same speed as you.
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Answer

Get off the merry-go-round, you're sozzled. ;D ;D
