0 unreality Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 was it a remote control plane? or was it being pulled by the car down the runway or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 he was being pulled by the car so he was always behind it. Can someone answer me please? How can he be piloting the plane if he is being pulled by the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Can someone answer me please? How can he be piloting the plane if he is being pulled by the car? Not a "car" in this instance, but you get the idea. Is there a pilot in the pilot's seat? Probably. Is he actually "piloting" if he's not steering? Dubious, although definition 14 would probably still allow you call it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 ok I see several possibilities: A) remote control plane B)the car was driving on the runway C)Opposite directions D)really slow plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Lots of private planes can fly at around 60-80 miles per hour. A car could easily be going faster than this. Riddle is too vague for that specific of a "merry go round" answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 well, he wouldnt want to hit it. the piolt could also have been a kid who did not have driving priviges, but was pertend piloting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm going to go with the plane being pulled by the car... But my first thought was the remote control too :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 My answer is a simple one and also technically correct. "The plane crashed". Note the riddle is written in the past tense so that I could justify myself saying that the plane was not able to overtake the car because it crashed before it could. Unless this is the answer, the puzzle should probably be changed to the present tense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I have an interesting spin on this one. A plane is also a device used for shaping wood. Since one moves the plane up and down the wood, one must guide, or pilot, the "plane". Standing behind a car and planing wood makes it easy to see why he was never able to overtake the car.

0 Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The merry-go-round answer fails. To pilot means to guide or control. On a merry-go-round you don't "pilot," you "ride." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The merry-go-round answer fails. To pilot means to guide or control. On a merry-go-round you don't "pilot," you "ride." try telling that to a four year old - ok a four year old is'nt doing this puzzle, but they think they can offer your own answer - if it fits, then it's another good answer!

0 Brandonb Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 The answer is obviousChuck Norris was driving the car. Then he got bored of slowing down and waiting for the plane to catch up so he round-house'd the plane out of the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
