A horse is on a 24 foot chain and eats an apple that is 26 feet away. How did the horse get to the apple?
Common Wrong Answers
“The horse broke the chain.”
The riddle implies the chain is intact, as it focuses on how the horse reached the apple rather than any physical alteration.
“The horse walked to the apple.”
While this seems plausible, the horse's movement is restricted by the 24-foot chain, making it impossible to reach the 26-foot apple without additional context.
“The apple was pulled closer to the horse.”
The riddle does not suggest any external force acting on the apple; it focuses solely on the horse's ability to reach it.
