Brain Teasers
Holding Hands
A man and woman run through a field holding hands. They bound toward the sunset, happy as can be. Suddenly, the man moves off of his straight line course and starts veering to his left. At the same time, the woman begins running off to her right.
They continue this for a full minute, but never let go of each others hands. How is this possible?

They start off facing each other, with the woman facing east and the man west. They start running west (the woman runs backwards). Then when they veer off, they head south (to the woman's right and the man's left).Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
