Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.
If you are stumped, feel free to get help – share it with a friend or colleague to see if you can figure it out together.
I’ll confirm answers later in the day so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance.
This week’s riddle:
A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load?

Depends on how many are ‘the hited help’ – if two, then all equal, if more then the farmer.
Or do you not carry grain to a barn?? Is it a trick, grain goes in siloes? (you can tell I’m not from a farming background!)
