In the fathers will, he states that his sons must race their horse, and the son with the slowest horse will receive the fathers entire fortune. The two sons race, but never finish it, as they deliberately slow their horses. After visiting the oracle the sons race horses as fast as possible. What did the oracle tell them?
Common Wrong Answers
“Change the course of the race”
Changing the course doesn't address the problem of the sons deliberately slowing down their horses; it simply alters the race without solving the underlying issue.
“Use a different set of horses”
Using different horses does not help in resolving the sons' intention to slow down; the issue lies in their behavior, not the horses themselves.
“Take turns riding each other's horses”
Taking turns does not effectively change the situation where both sons are trying to race slowly to win the fortune; it still allows them to control the speed.
