Shamelessly thieved from another forum :)

Scenario:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed.
On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine
traveling at the same speed as you.


In front of you is a galloping pig which is the same size as your car
and you cannot overtake it.
Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level.
Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also traveling at the same
speed as you.


What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?















































Answer:

Get off the children's "Merry-Go-Round", you're drunk
 
I started reading it thinking WTF :confused:

Then I got to the end of funny looks for laughing in my office :)

I need specifics to fully answer this is it in the UK or France, is the Car modified for driving in these conditions. As if you are in France then at least that gives you the right hand side clear as the fire-engine will eventually not be able to hold onto the edge of the road on a tight bend. However this giant pig infront of you will eventually tire from exhaustion and you will be forced to brake. If the pig is car sized then that should mean the pig has approx a 4" layer of fat if the car brakes into the pig the 4" blubber should allow the driver to safely crash, and the helicopter to either crash into the pig, causing slight damage to the pig.

However if the helicopter is of military use it will be able to brake sharply and hover on the spot, like an Apache helicopter. The passenger should in this situation be able to safely leave his or her vehicle thus there is the solution to the afformentioned scenario.

:p

Edit - Apologies got confused between the valley and the fire engine sides (left and right) is this as if I was looking face onto the car or facing the pigs rear left?

Can we have a diagram so I can distinguish a possible solution.

Thanks

Ok well the fire engine looks a little angry :p

Do you not see this also?
 
I agree actually, the fire engine does look angry.

A guy in my office came back with "Indicate to over take the Pig and hope the fire man lets you pull out?"


When we all laughed at him he said it was because it didn't tell him to scroll down.
