Title: Solve this one
Post by: Ummulhuda on February 11, 2003, 03:14:20 PM
Eid Mubarak to all Kanoonliners.
this site's starting to flag a bit so let's spice it up with this poser. Everyone gets one chance at solving it.
Here goes:
This cowhand/boy rode to town on wednesday, he entered a saloon on wednesday, had a drink on wednesday, booked a room on wednesday, slept, woke up at dawn and left on wednesday.
Now how did he do that?

Oh Venom, I don't know what to say to you. You seem to be the only one interested in this puzzle. No one's bothering about it! Ah well I will give it a few more days then tell you the answer and request the admin to delete the whole submission from the forum.

A cowboy and a cow hand are one and the same thing. That is why I put the stoke / you can either call a cowboy a cowboy or a cowhand. He does the same things tends steers and pastures them and breeds them. Rather like our nomadic fulanis. The difference is that they the cowboys ride horses and they don't cross national borders.

The cowboy went to sleep at night and woke up some eight to ten hours later.

That was so easy! You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! His horse was called Wednesday (such a silly name!). So what do you get? Naman sallah? Bai ginshe ka ba?

Solve the next two first!  I will give the next riddle (which is much easier than this one actually):
This cowboy went into a saloon and asked the bar tender to serve him a drink. The bar tender said to him that they had run out of everything. So dejectedly the cowboy turned to leave. As he reached the door, of the bar, he heard a shot behind him. He turned round and found the bar tender blowing smoke from the barrel of a rifle.
He smiled at the bar man and said thank you and walked out.
Now Why did he do that?
