A king has a daugther. Two princes fell in love with her so the king decided to test them. The king said they should have a race, the slower horse will win. They decided to consult a genius so he may help them with their problem.During the race each tried to reach the finish line as fast as he could. What did the genius say? Please do not look up the answer, it ruins the fun! Thank you!:)

Haha! One of my friends asked me this last year that what one should do in this situation. I told him to run the horse backwards, he said the other could do the same, i said that one should give impression of running and just before finish line one should stop suddenly while other crosses, he noded in negative, then i said they should make a deal to change there horses, so they will be running other's horse faster to make their own horse slower and he accepted. Is it the answer acceptable to you also?
