I didn't Google it but it was featured in the Labyrinth movie years ago so I remembered the trick.
Kinda reminds me of a story attributed to Buddha. As he was walking along one day he came across two farmers astride mules, stock still in the road. Passersby had gathered to watch across and both farmers continued to sit on the mules. One of the men watching told Buddha the men had made a crossed bet, each swearing his mule was slower than the other. They had agreed to a race but both men had been completely still for hours and no one knew how to end the race if no one moved. Buddha thought for a moment and told them the answer. Within minutes the race was over, a winner had been declared and Buddha went on his way.
What did he say to the farmers to end the race?

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
