The human brain contains approximately one hundred billion neurons.

That is about the same as the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These neurons are connected by trillions of connections, or synapses. Brain scientists call this a “neuron forest”. Information runs between these neurons in your brain for everything you see, think, or do. And the neurons move information at different speeds. The fastest speed for information to pass between neurons is about 250 mph.  That’s a lot of high-speed traffic in a single brain.

But no…that does not mean you can blame an incorrect answer in math or Latin on an intergalactic traffic accident inside your head.  Because neurons also never touch.

Yesterday’s riddle asked how it was possible that no hair on the man’s head got wet.  Many of you got it: He was bald.

Now for today’s riddle:

A cowboy rode into town on Friday.  He stayed for just three days.  On the first day, he visited the blacksmith.  On the second day, he ate dinner with the sheriff.  On the third day, he caught up with friends at the saloon.  Then, he rode out of town, once again on Friday.  How is that possible?
