Riddle: An eagle flew down and landed on the sea. It didn’t move at all for about a day before flying away. How many feathers did the eagle have?
Show answer
None.
The riddle is a clever play on words involving a historical event. When it says “An eagle flew down and landed on the sea,” it refers to the Apollo 11 lunar module, nicknamed “Eagle,” that landed on the Sea of Tranquility on the moon. The riddle plays on the fact that “Eagle” is also a type of bird, and the “sea” is not water but a flat lunar mare. The module remained on the moon for about a day before it lifted off to rejoin the command module in lunar orbit.
