A King sat on his throne. Beside him stood his Princess who was to be married to 1 of the 2 suitors who both stood 25 ft. in front of them. The King set up a test to determine the wiser of the suitors. He ordered his knights to bind each man as best they could in 2 different ways.

The first suitor was sat in a chair with his hands bound behind him and his feet tied together with sturdy rope. The second suitor's ankle's were chained to 2 500 lb. weights.

The suitors were then told that the first of them to kiss the hand of the Princess would be the one to marry her. Which suitor was able to kiss her hand first and how did he meet the King's expectation?

[Guest]

The first suitor should be able to get to the princess first. He is not tied to the chair, so he should be able to stand up, and hop to the princess and kiss her hand.

The one who askes her to come to him.

The one who askes her to come to him.

Nice one Nikyma. This is definitely the fastest way, unless he asks her to run to him of course.

Finally, an Itachi-San puzzle that I can answer.

[Guest]

If I was one of the one who had my hands tied behind my back, I would act like I was choking or something to get her immediate attention and then ask her to kiss her hand.

[Guest]

he can hop and kiss...as he is not tied to the chair

[abhisk]

the answer is the first person to ask the princess to come near him so that he could kiss her hand. This one took me some time.
