VERY KEWL
i agree
Holy mashed potatoes. I never could have guessed that.
you could put 3 horses in one of the stables
well now that i see the answer very cute, I thought about sell a horse.
Stables can have more than one stall, can't they??
I thought you could just keep riding one all the time and rotate the horse you were on.
If you had the 9 stables arranged so that they formed a square, with a square empty space in the center, the tenth horse could be kept in there.
I thought the answer was you can put one inside somewhere else...It doesnt say it has to go in a stable!
how on earth can parenthesis represent a stable?
i assumed you meant you had 9 stalls in your stable, so you could lock your 9 horses up in the stall, and just leave the 10th horse running free in the stable

Very easy.
Cute made me laugh
A friend showed me this teaser on a piece of paper. Then I see it here. Of course at this point I already knew the answer but it's a good teaser
that was more of a dumb-dumb "riddle" than a trick
very easy
what about 3 horses?
i thought the answer would be "you cant"! lol
The question actually states, 'How do you fit all the horses inside?'
It asks to put 'all the horses' in, not just ten horses.
OK, I'm just picky

I agree with grungy49! The question wasn't how to put ten hourses into the stables, but to put all the horses into the stables. That would need 12 stables!
that was a very dirty trick!!! haha nice job
this is an old teaser made years ago but i like it
hahaha... you forgot about the space between "ten horses"...you still need 10 stables.
Awesome teaser!!!!!!
Ive seen this teaser on another website
Clever. My answer was slightly darker - kill one of the horses.
Hmmmmm that one was different, but great job!
