Topic: Lateral thinking problem solution: Fly and Horse Mystery

The solution to this lateral thinking problem is that the fly flew into the horse's mouth while the horse was sleeping or dead, and when the fly flew back out, it realized that the horse was gone because it had either been taken away or had already decomposed.
Here's a detailed explanation of how we can arrive at this solution:
- Consider the facts presented in the problem: a fly flies into a horse's mouth, and when it flies back out, the horse is gone.
- There are several possible ways to interpret the phrase "the horse is gone." One possible interpretation is that the horse has disappeared, as if by magic. However, this interpretation is unlikely, as there is no indication in the problem that any magical or supernatural events have taken place.
- Another possible interpretation is that the horse has simply moved away from its original location. However, this interpretation also seems unlikely, as it is difficult to imagine a horse moving so quickly or so far that it would be "gone" in the time it takes a fly to enter and exit its mouth.
- Therefore, it seems likely that the phrase "the horse is gone" is meant to indicate that something has happened to the horse that has caused it to no longer be present in its original form. This suggests that the horse may have died, been taken away, or undergone some other transformation.
- One possible explanation for the horse's disappearance is that it was already dead or asleep when the fly entered its mouth. If the horse had died, it is possible that its body was removed or had already decomposed by the time the fly flew back out. If the horse was sleeping, it may have woken up and moved away while the fly was still inside its mouth.
- Another possible explanation is that the fly carried some sort of disease or toxin that caused the horse to die or become incapacitated. However, this interpretation is less likely, as there is no indication in the problem that the fly had any unusual properties or abilities.
In conclusion, the most likely explanation for the horse's disappearance is that it was already dead or asleep when the fly entered its mouth, and its body had either been removed or had already decomposed by the time the fly flew back out. This explanation is consistent with the facts presented in the problem and does not require any additional assumptions or information.

His profession is to lie. He says he is employed by the Pedophile Catholic Church.
Lying is a tool he uses often.

Wrong. My profession is to spread the Word of God.
> He says he is employed by the Catholic Church.
Which is true.
> Lying is a tool he uses often.
I have never lied.
Bless you for the engagement friend!
Also, the "solution" to the lateral thinking problem offered in the OP is farcically inept.

It's a given God is just a fairy tale (folklore genre) Your so called God, represents the Devil. A good example is how the Pedophile Catholic Church was created. May have started out with good intentions, and then corrupted by Scoundrel Devil worshiping Popes. A great example is how and thank you Alexa. "Stephen VI dug up his predecessor's corpse and put it on trial." "John XII committed "homicide, perjury, sacrilege" and even incest." "Boniface VIII said pedophilia was no more problematic than "rubbing one hand against the other." "Sixtus IV had a child with his sister." "Innocent VIII had lots of illegitimate children.(Innocent VII, who became pope in 1484, was the first pontiff to openly acknowledge eight illegitimate children, though he may have had more." "Leo X allowed the faithful to buy their way into heaven." "Paul IV Paul IV was elected in 1555 and is best known for his horrific acts of anti-Semitism." Of course he was unaware that Jesus was a Jew) "Vatican documents show secret back channel between Pope Pius XII and Hitler (He was called Hitler's pope and an antisemite)
> Next week was just one more lie. Nor do you have the only solution to the problem you posed. OP's solution is just as valid, as the other dozen or so solutions available.
> "I have never lied."?????
Eleven Months ago you said "A fly flies into a horse's mouth and when it flies back out moments later, the horse is gone. What's happened?
> I'll give the answer later in the week if nobody gets it."
Perhaps you also have PMS, along with your need to practice Pedophilia.
