What goes up a mountain with 4 legs, and comes down the mountain with 3 legs?

[TelC@t]

This one is from a greek myth.
So here is mine:

There was a priest. He wanted to offer flowers to his god. Beside his temple there were three magic wells. Anything you put in the well doubles.

So he starts of with some number of flowers. He drops it in the first well. They double. The he takes some from the first well and drops it in the second well which in turn doubles. Then he takes another amount and drops it in the third well which also doubles.

Then he leaves empty handed and goes to pray. But at the end each of the wells have the same amount of flowers in it. So how did he do it?

Say he put ..

x flowers in the 1st well

y flowers in the 2nd well

z flowers in the 3rd well

and 1st 2nd 3rd well all have b amount flowers

Then:

2x - y = b
2y - z = b
2z = b

solve 3 equations simultaneously you will have:

x = 1.75 z
y = 1.5 z
z = 0.5 b

4 variables 3 equations, there can be many possible answers to this question, for example:

b = 8, z = 4, y = 6, x = 7

or

b = 16, z = 8, y = 12, x = 14

math to the rescue ya you got it

What goes up a mountain with 4 legs, and comes down the mountain with 3 legs?

Ummm, I have 3 answers for that question:

1) a special kind of animal

2) a race course (leg 1, leg 2, leg 3 and leg 4 of the course are up the mountain and leg 5 leg 6 leg 7 are down the mountain)

3) a nerdy forum moderator who has been sitting in front of his PC for too long so he got no muscles on his legs. With no other choice, he climb up the mountain on all fours. Then he developed some leg muscles while climbing the mountain. He finds a stick and is able to walk down the mountain on his 2 legs and the stick (3 legs).

A horse is tied to a 6 foot rope, the rope is securily attached to the horse neck with no way to get it off. 5 feet away from the horse is a bucket of 'food'. The horse is already at the end of it's rope. How can the horse get to the bucket?

Why couldn't it? you didn't mention that the other end of the rope was securely tied to anything unmoveable

Yah, riddles work better in rl, you got it right, I had a group of 10 people stumped on this one for a few days.

The bucket is inside the 6 foot radius, not outside. The horse simply walks 5 feet to the food and guzzles it.

Is the time machine on?

If it was on, it could be any time because (if you could travel back through time,) you could go back to when ever you wanted.
