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: How far can you run into the woods?

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

No idea when this photo was taken. I assume the language on the sign is in Russian, but I’m otherwise stumped by this photo. If you can help date this based on their clothing / appearance leave your guess as a comment for all to see.

Much thanks to longtime reader, Angel from Asturias, Spain for sharing this week’s photo.

I can’t tell if he is wearing suspenders or some form of a harness but either way it is suitably distracting. What do you think?
