A wee puzzle:


Here's a puzzle that has confounded even the brightest among us.

You are on a Horse, galloping at a constant speed.

On your right side is a sharp drop off.

And on your left side is an Elephant traveling at the same speed as you.

Directly in front of you is a galloping Kangaroo and your horse is
unable to overtake it.

Behind you is a Lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

See answer below:

Get your drunk ass off the merry-go-round!

There's another possibility. Is the elephant "traveling" in the opposite
direction? If so, pass the kangaroo on the left after the elephant
passes you.

You can't pass the kangaroo. Your horse is unable to overtake it.

We're going to have to get you on a damn merry-go-round.
