I understand the answer and it's clever. Still, it bothers me that the donkeys are tested back to back but never dong to dong.

It's clear that it wouldn't work, but for thoroughness, I wish it was shown in the video.

I much prefer the one on the string and you twist the string back and forth to see the man ride the donkey

This was back in the day when people used to visit other people so you always have new guests to try it on. Also, multiple puzzles.

It's 3 pieces of paper. That's pretty good value, honestly.

I think it would work as well if the hooves of the donkeys were facing each other as well, no?

2 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

thought that for too long too, but the distance between the two donkeys would be too great. There's only a little bit of space between 1

the 2 riders, but considerably more between the donkeys

2 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

at least that's my theory as to why that wouldn't work

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Oh true, there isn't a lot of space between the riders, isn't it..? I thought for sure it would work but oh well..
