Brain teaser
Brain teaser:

You are sitting behind the wheel of a car going a constant speed.

On your left side there is an abyss.

On your right side there is a fire engine which keeps the same speed as you.

In front of you runs a pig, larger than your car.

A helicopter is following you, at ground level.

Both the helicopter and the pig are going the same speed as you are.

What should your move be to get away??
















(scroll down)









Answer:

Please get off the merry-go-round and give your seat to someone younger.

Since it's on the outside.

But I'm gonna give you my response as if there was no "answer"

To quote the "story"


Both the helicopter and the pig are going the same speed as you are.

Well, I WAS going to say: If the pig is going in the same direction, there is no NEED to get away.

And if the pig WASN'T going in the same direction . .

.

.

It's too fecking late !!

. . . . . so take THAT ! . .
