A millionaire died. In his will, he instructed that there should be a horse race between his two sons and the one whose horse was the slowest would inherit all his assets.



Many days into the race, the brothers had made no progress.



A sage gave them an advice. They jumped on the horses and raced as fast as they could to the finish line.



What was the sage’s suggestion?

When we move slowly we can't judge who is slow and who is fast as we can be as slow as to stand at a place. ya, when we are running fast and trying to run faster then other only then we can decide who is slow.
that's why he suggested them to have fast race rather then crawling to know who is slow.

I think this is the only option to complete the race quickly, also there is not any breach of the will because the clause is that, the horse which will finish last (Slowest horse) will win the race. So brothers should first fix their horses. once they fix it then mutually shift to the other's horse (they are shifting themselves to the opponents horses, not shifting their ownership.) and start the race..both will try to finish the race first because they want their own horse should reach last. In this way the race will finish with conclusion.

Sorry did not respond to all your comments, this riddle has left many baffled - including me. And with all failed efforts did not find the solution to it. So the answer is still debatable...
