slacker Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 A runner was awarded a prize for winning a marathon, but the judges disqualified him when they saw a picture of his wristwatch. Why? It will please some of you to know that no one died or injured in the posting of this riddle. Quote Link to comment
IrishAZ Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The wristwatch was also a pedometer which displayed too few steps for the man to have run the entire way. Quote Link to comment

N Bug Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It was a mans wristwatch, and he ran in the marathon as a woman. Quote Link to comment
IrishAZ Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Did the wristwatch have other functions on it besides keeping the time? Was the picture of the wristwatch taken at the beginning of the race? In the middle? At the end? Quote Link to comment

AR Husker Fan Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The "original" runner started the race, then dropped out and his twin took over and "won". The only difference between them in appearance was the watch - each was wearing a different watch/one had a watch and the other didn't/one wore the watch on the left wrist and one wore it on the right???
