*Dangerous Situation*


You are driving 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 traveling on), and on your right side is a firetruck traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is another galloping horse. Both horses are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

For the answer, click and drag your mouse from star to star.

Re: *Dangerous Situation*


That is good! Before I looked my answer was to do nothing or to slow down and the horse behind me would be forced to slow down or avoid me. I guess that the horse behind me could not slow down!

At first I didn't necessarily see the need to do 'anything', - - but then after clicking I realized I was getting unnecessarily dizzy and suffering a severe case of parched lips, - - that is, - - until I reached for more WHISKEY . . .

Sorry, Tom. I don't share my drugs. Ask Grumpy!

Nope

Besides, you're a Goody-Two-Shoes. What the heck would you be doing with drugs?
