Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together. Leave your guess in the comment section.
This week’s riddle: A man dropped a hard-boiled egg from a height of 10′ onto a concrete floor, without cracking it. Please explain.
I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.
