That's two in a row, Racky!

Okay, my turn.

This was a race between two horses (and their jockeys, of course). The kicker here is that the winner of the race, would be the horse that arrived the last at the finish line.

This being the case, none of the jockeys felt like starting. They hadn't even ridden their horses.

Then, a spectator from the crowd approached them, and told them something. The jockeys immediately rode the horses, and sped off.

What did the spectator tell them?

Be careful not to answer incorrectly, the answer may be suprising!


A man wanted to get into a members only club so he hid and watched the guard at the door of the club house. The guard said a number to each member as they approached, and the member would respond with a number of their own. If the member responded with the correct number they were let in. If they responded incorrectly they were thrown out. One member came up to the door, the guard said twelve, and the member responded with six and was let in. Another member came to the door, the guard said six and the member responded with three and was let in. Believing he had heard enough, the reject went up to the guard. The guard said ten, and the reject said five, but was not let in. What should the reject have said?


If my guess is correct, the man should have said three, and these would be some more answers:
zero => four
one => three
two => three
three => five
four => four
five => four
six => three
seven => five
eight => five
nine => four
ten => three
eleven => six
twelve => six
thirteen => eight
fourteen => eight
fifteen => seven
sixteen => seven
seventeen => nine
eighteen => eight
nineteen => eight
twenty => six

To ride each others' horses.

All right, here's one for you...

A man who was running for mayor promised that if elected, he would walk naked around the town square. He won the election. The next day he did as promised, yet he was fully clothed at the time. How is that possible?

Sorry, that's not the answer.

And I don't know to your second question.

Hmm, I didn't think my riddle would be that difficult, so here's something of a clue. Think about other possible meanings of the words in 'walk naked around the town square'.

If the person who answered the previous riddle/question didn't post another question or riddle, you can post one if you want to.

Again, it's prefered that you post your riddle/question after the last one was solved.
