There are 25 horses and only five tracks in a race.
How do you find the second coming horse of all the 25
horses, provided there is no stop clock? (obviously, a
horse cannot participate more than once in a race).

Answer Posted / joel konecny

Run each horse in a race, always keeping the top two to
compete in the next race, until the last race in which the
top two are identified. So run 8 races instead of 7,
sometimes the simple solution is the best.

Obviously a horse can't run twice in a race. Sometimes when
something is too obvious it makes you think it's a trick
statement.
