Tight Rope
The Ringmaster gave his 25 acrobats a challenge. He challenged them to walk over the smallest tight rope (in width) in the world. He said to each one of the acrobats, "You can do it, trust me." Each acrobat attempted the walk, but only one acrobat successfully walked the rope to the other side. Every acrobat said, "The ringmaster was right in what he said to all of us." How was the ringmaster right if only one acrobat walked the rope to the other side?
