The answer to last week’s challenge is. Q: A boxer left the ring having just won the World Championship, yet he received no money at all for the win and it all went to his trainer. Why?

A: The boxer was a dog that had just won the championship at a dog show.

This week’s thinking challenge is.

Q: If you do it once one day it’s OK, but if you do it twice it’s a serious offence! What is it?

The answer, along with a new challenge next week.

    I have just discovered your website and the questions are very stimulating starter for my day that I keep going to old ones. Is this O.K. with you?

    For Mental Floss 57; 1- the boxer had one hard nock it altered his brain and outlook on life. Perhaps he suddenly felt it was all meaningless and his coach collected the prize. 2- the trainer became seriously ill he needed an expensive surgery and the boxer played to pay for it.
