A horse is tied to a 15 ft. rope and there is a bail of hay 25 ft. away from him. Yet the horse is able to eat from the bail of hay.
 
How is this possible?

The rope is tied to nothing!

At the second time of asking you indeed are a genius Mr O.
 
Would you like to try and riddle us senseless or would you prefer another mind bender from myself?

Ahhh. Steve-O's mind is as sharp as a tack. Perhaps a couple more difficult ones will hold you over for a while (and make that Friday arvo in the office go that much quicker)
 

Take away the whole and some still remains. What is it?

What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?
 
While some months have just 30 days, others have 31 days. How many months have 28 days?
 
There is a house with all 4 sides facing south. If a bear walks past the house, what color would it be?
 
How many times can you subtract 5 from 25?

Yes to the first two.
 
The third one, you're on the right track, but read the question again and look at what i'm asking.

I tells ya, this Steve-O character is on fire today lads. KP and Whitby aren't too shabby either.
 
What is it that you can keep after giving it to someone else?
 
What goes round the house and in the house but never touches the house?
 
Though it is not an ox, it has horns; though it is not an ass, it has a pack-saddle; and wherever it goes it leaves silver behind. What is it?

UG has come from nowhere to nail 2 and 3. Number 1 still has you all stumped however.
 
The Suns rays may touch the house but the Sun itself does not Steve. In my book (and the website i nicked it off) that is perfectly legit.

Nope. Think more along the lines of the secret. What are you giving them when telling them this information?

How is this possible?


The horse is standing as far away as is possible (15ft) from the pole or whatever and 10ft on the other side of the pole is the hay.  The horse can easily walk over to eat it (with 5ft to spare).

Wow Yomcat you are a legend.   Except that number 1 isn't correct.  We thought it was 6 too, but the quizmaster assured us it isn't 6.
