BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brain

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: Four cars come to a four-way stop, each from a different direction. They can’t decide who got there first and go forward simultaneously, but none crash into each other. How is this possible?

I’ll approve responses later in the day to allow people to respond without seeing any spoilers.
