Last Problem
The king of Estonia is 95 and
needs at long last to hand over
his throne to one of his sons.
But which one? He decides to ask
the sons to run a horse race.
Unlike the traditional horse race
however, the son with the slower
horse will be declared the winner of
the race and will gain the throne
the following day.
For obvious reasons, each son
feared the other would cheat
and have his horse run
slower than it is capable of
running. One of the two sons –
the ambitious one – sought out
advice from the court jester.
What was the jester’s advice?
Answer:
Race your brother’s horse.
