Can you solve this riddle? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Three men go over a bridge. Man A noticed the bridge; he then proceeded to stroll on over it to the other side. Man B noticed the bridge; yet he didn't stroll on over it to the other side as the first man had done. Man C didn't notice the bridge and he didn't stroll over it to the other side.
Explain how this is possible
Man B is riding piggyback on Man A, and Man C is asleep in a stroller being pushed by man A.
Hint
The hint I was given was "what is the difference between a penguin, an ostrisch and a duck?"
one walks, one runs, and one swims. strolling is a kind of walking so you could use that kind of solution but i thought that would make the riddle a bit too obvious / unclever...
jennM - If the clue you were given was "what is the difference between a penguin, an ostrisch and a duck?", then like stuh505 said the answer is that - man A strolled (penguin), man B ran (osterich) & man C swam (duck).
