A rich old man is nearing the end of his days and must decide which of his two sons shall receive his estate when he passes away. He knows that neither son will ever share with the other. He calls his sons before him to tell them of his plan. He tells them that they must each go to their own stables and choose their finest horse, and they must then have a race. He tells his sons that whomevers horse finishes in LAST place that son shall inherit his entire estate. The sons each choose their finest horse and take their place at the starting line and the father intructs them to race. Obviously neither son makes much progress as neither wants their horse to win the race. After an hour or so they realise they are getting nowhere but don't know how to resolve the issue as they don't get on. They see a wise old man walking nearby and decide to pose him their dilemma. The wise man gives them his advice at which point they both run straight over to the horses, jump on and take off as fast as they can over the finish line. What advice did the old man give?

He tell them to s****h horses.
I didn't post that, but I don't understand why it blanked out the answer. Anyway, just in case you can't tell, they swapped horses (BTW I did know b4 I saw that)
They got on eachother's horses!

So Son A rides Son B's horse over the line first, leaving the horse of Son A to finish last.

Hope that makes sense x
