A horse is tied to a five meter rope in front of an old saloon. Six meters behind the horse is a bale of hay. Without breaking his rope, the horse is able to eat the hay whenever he chooses. How is this possible?
Answer i’ll tell later but first you think over it

either it's a different horse who's eating.......or the horse is facing towards the bale of hay and his legs is tied with the rope, which allows him to readh the bale by one meter extra.

b/c the other end of the rope is not tied to anything.
possibilities
1) one end of the rope is not tied to anything
2) Both ends of the rope are tied to the horse
3) One end of the rope is tied to something easily moveable e.g. tennis ball
4) One end is tied to an object that is 1 meter or more in length...such that the total distance is 6 meters, which allows the horse to reach the bale
5) The rope is elastic
6) The rope is made of a materiall that expands
7) The rope can be made longer in some other way e.g. untied
8) The bale is not fixed e.g. it may be on a incline such that a small wind/or ground shake will cause it to move closer to the horse
9) The bale is tied to the horse
10) The horse has a good master and moves the bale to the horse whenver the horse requests it
....and so on
