The walkaround (Posted on 2003-01-23)

Two men meet each other and one says to the other "I bet you I can walk around you three times, and before I walk around you the third time you will move your feet off of that spot you're standing on. On top of that i will do it without hitting or touching you in any physical way."

The other man says "I bet you 20 bucks you can't." After saying this he stood still and was preparing for the man to circle around him.

He circled him once.

He circled him twice. At this point the man trying to stand still threw his arms up in disgust realizing that he lost.

What happened?

Solution: (Hide)

After the first man circled him twice he then stood and waited. Since he was allowed to walk around he could go to the bathroom, eat and do many other things as long as he didn't circle him the third time. Since the other man had to stand still he could not do these things. He then realized that the first man never would circle him a third time causing him to have to move in order to do normal day to day activities.
