I've always liked this one:
A cowboy rides into Dodge on Tuesday. He remains in Dodge for exactly three
days, nine hours and fourteen minutes. He then rides out of town on Tuesday.
How is this possible?
(If you've heard it, please wait a bit to give the solvers/guessers a chance.)
Jest Regards,
Mike C.

Is "Tuesday" the name of the horse?

Yes. I like this puzzle because I've seen bright eight-year-olds (and older
folks) figure it out in moments and have also seen administrators who can only
think in terms of complex rule-oriented solutions struggle for hours and
declare that there is no solution. Like most good puzzles, it's an object
lesson in the value of learning to view problems from more than one
perspective.
Regards and congrats,
Mike C.

"Pretty horse. What's his name?"
"I don't name anything I might have to eat."

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

But when he left, the horse was shorter? :-)
