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.

Luckily not Friday, since he's stuck at some island.

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

Didn't know this one, I just had to search on the net... (I think "The lone 
ranger" was never translated and introduced in France)

Hi ho! :-)

  I hope this is not just a trick question related to the word "ride"
(vs. walking or something else which he could do instead of riding).

  I also hope it's not a trick question which relies on some possible
double meaning of the words "Dodge" or "Tuesday" which are culture
dependant.
