kinda for children
that was the easiest teaser through out the whole site but it did beat mine
EASY!!!
Thats not really true though because the force of the train hitting the leash would simply push the dog forward, moving the leash in a semicircle back to its original postion and killing the dog in the process. A dog cannot withstand the force of a moving train.
Actually you are wrong. The forse of the train will flatten the leash. I haave actually put quarters on the railways of a small train that goes pretty slow and the train not only flattend the quarters, but also shot them off in many directions.
Fun but way to easy. Course that is not always a bad thing!
Good riddle !!
And very well set up and explained. Although it was easy ... there's nothing wrong with that. It makes the category more fun when there is a mix of easy ones and hard ones. Keep 'em coming.

Dude, the answer to that one is just common sense ... the dog wants food, dog on leash, train will cut leash (maybe), what does dog do to get to food? TOO easy, sorry. But well written.
the leash could get cought on the train and the dog can be dragged away
how was that a riddle?? i thought that was the answer but then i thought that would be to easy but i guess it was. thnx for the riddle thought cuz i dont make em up i just read em.
2 easy, but still good.
EZ but still good. i like EZ one's every once in a while. it makes me feel smart.
The answer was easy but cute. My question is whether the dog would stand still as the train passed or get pulled under it? Poor hungry dog!
REALLY REALLY EASY!!!
Also what if the teack is abandoned, then a trian would nver come by and the do would still be hungry.
I got the answer at first but then "rejected" it because I felt the force of the train would be fatal to the dog. On the other hand, it probably would break the leash, which was the original objective. Good teaser.
2 words, 2 letters.
