Rules:
Okay, so these things are little riddles called "lateral thinking puzzles"!! They suggest situations that sound really weird, but make so much more sense once you explain them. Yes, YOU!!!! Your job in this fun little thread is to solve the riddle... and you have as many guesses as you like!!!
If you were just guessing, though, we'd probably be here all day. So, you can also ask an unlimited number of yes or no questions! I will answer everypony's questions with "yes", "no", or "irrelevant", irrelevant as in you're asking something that just has nothing to do with the answer, silly!
If nopony gets the answer for a while, I'll give you all a hint! I usually have at least a couple of juicy hints for every riddle, so feel free to ask for one if you're collectively stumped! :D
Be careful, though! These questions can be really tricky, and you often have to take a step to the side in your assumptions to set your hooves back on the right path. You gotta think laterally!
The Puzzle:
Twillight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash were in a carriage accident. An ponee-ambulance took Rainbow Dash to a hospital 4 miles away and Twillight Sparkle was taken to a different hospital which was fifty miles from the accident. When Twillight Sparkle went into surgery the surgeon said "I can't operate on this patient because she is my daughter"!
How can this be?!
The answer:
They had a surprise baby.
