Where does it say anything about a horse?


Have you worked it out yet?


I know what everyone's talking about but I'm just saying that it doesn't mention a horse in it anywhere.


It COULD be a horse.


It could be any form of transportation that someone has called Friday.


AYe. If it mentioned a horse at all, the answer would be obvious, and it wouldnt be a riddley.

Usually, it would so so if there was any transportation in it.

It could say that she had a horse and that she left on Friday ... then it wouldn't be so obvious.

I suppose it could, but it not mentioning any transport at all makes the reader think more.

Hmm ... I'm still not entirely convinced. I mean, cos they don't mention any transport means that the reader might not have to think about the transport.

Dude, seriously??!?! You really like to debate everything don't you?

She posted the riddle as is. Riddles are supposed to be vague and trick you, throw you off with words they use, don't use.

The whole point is to try and make you not think about transport and think it's something to do with time instead of realizing Friday is a mode of transportation.

This reminds me of the Movie Little Big League, there's this whole subplot with this riddle and at the very end the goofy pitcher played by Jonathan Silverman solves Billy's Math Homework and tosses in the answer to the riddle as a bonus: The Horse's Name was Friday.

Hehe.
