A Riddle that Demonstrates Thought Processes
NextStage: Predictive Intelligence, Persuasion Engineering, Interactive Analytics and Behavioral Metrics I've written before about my jokelist being an inspiration for research or adding an element to NextStage's research. A recent joke sparked some discussions in the NextStage Evolution offices. The different responses to it fueled discussions because they revealed some core concepts and cognitive methods among our internal and external staff. I'm posting the joke here and inviting readers to comment or email me with their responses and thoughts.

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a ' drop off' (The ground is 18-20 inches below the level you are traveling on), and on your right side is a fire engine traveling at the same speed as you. In front of you is a galloping horse which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is another galloping horse. Both horses are also traveling at the same speed as you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Q1: What, exactly, is the situation you are in?
30pt Toss-up: What direction are you traveling in?

The answer to Q1 is the punch line, the answer to the Toss-up shows cognitive methodology. I'll post the punchline and responses in a few days. Remind me if I forget.
