6. Here's the Head Scratcher Homework for today:
Two of the fastest horsemen in the kingdom wanted to marry the king's
daughter. The king didn't like either of the horsemen, but he wanted to look fair so he suggested a horse race in which the winner would have his daughter's hand in marriage. The only catch was that the winner would be the person whose horse came in second. The king was certain the race would never take place because he thought that neither horseman whould let the other win. The king's daughter had other plans, and made a suggestion to the two horsemen that would guarantee a fair race. What did she suggest?

They should ride each other's horses. Severn
