You see a big painting of a horse with the following inscription below it:

"There once was a horse who had great fame. What do you think was the horse's name."

You walk away wondering what the horse's name was. What was it?

Gamer, here are your words: ""There once was a horse who had great fame. What do you think was the horse's name." I am surprised that someone as clever as you could be so obtuse !!!!! "What do you think" could not possibly be the horse's name, because no horse by that name ever "had great fame" !!!! I checked on the Internet, and the only horse by that name is the one in this flooble thread. I assure you most solemnly that it takes a heckuva lot more than being mentioned on the flooble website, to constitute "great fame." Also, the fact that there is no question mark after "What do you think was the horses name" is a total red herring. It is quite common in English and other languages to have questions without question marks. There is not a single question mark in the entire Bible !! (The Bible was written before the question mark was invented). "Why anyone would go out in this weather is beyond me...." is clearly a question, although there is no question mark. No, here is the REAL ANSWER: Mr. ED the Talking Horse....because the question was not "What WAS the horse's name"; the question was "What do you THINK was the horse's name." Since I THINK that Mr. Ed is the horse's name, then Mr. Ed is the correct answer. QED
