You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a
sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same
speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your
horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same
speed as you and the Kangaroo. What must you do to safely get out of this
highly dangerous situation?

If you do not know, see answer below.




















Get your drunken *** off the merry-go-round.

It is obvious that you are more than just drunk. You are on your horse facing the wrong direction (sitting backwards). All the marry-go-rounds that I have ridden turn in a left to right direction. This would put the steep drop off on your right as you gallop around the track. By gazing to the left, there should be in fact the elephant that is racing beside you.

Maybe the drunk carouseler was in England. :)

You may have a point there Tone. How do the carousels rotate in England? Left to right or right or left? Any Brits out there able to answer the question?
