1899 Brain Teaser

 

    A. 10-year old Marshall boy has answered the Slater Index query:

     

     

      At what point in Missouri would a horse, attached to a halter three miles long, be able to graze

      in five counties in the state?

     

      The boys answer was:

       

      “That if the horse were hitched at the northeast corner of Madison, where it joins Perry, it could

      graze in Ste. Genevierve, St. Francois, Perry, Madison and Bollinger counties”
