there are 9 barns and 10 horses, you can only have 1 horse in each barn. however every horse has to be in a barn at all times. how is this possible?
One of the horses is pregnant
As it is worded above this riddle doesn't work.
Try ten horses into nine stables.
oh, I remember this one...
it's where someone takes 5 matchsticks and makes them into the number 10....then you move the "1" and move it to the bottom of the "0" making it a 9.
Ten Horses = Nine Stables
It wouldn't be so much fun if I just told you the answer.
However, the question might say:
Draw nine boxes to represent nine stables.
Put ten horses into the nine boxes so that only one is in each.
(You will only need ten stables if you leave a space in the fourth stable.)
