Patrolling the beat (Posted on 2004-03-18) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There are 2 policemen parked along a one-way street looking for traffic violations. They spot a taxi driver going in the wrong direction, yet they do nothing. Why?

Who says the taxi driver is on that street? There could be two parallel one-way streets, and the police spot the taxi driver on the other street. If the two streets were very long, or started and finished in different places, there would be little point doing anything, as it would be imposible to catch up.

Not a very good question, as there are so many possible answers.
