The Illusion of Restraint

Riddle:

A horse is tied to a 5-meter rope, but can reach a hay bale 6 meters away. How is this possible?

Answer:

Answer: The rope isn’t tied to anything. Explanation: The trick is in the wording. The rope may be tied to the horse, but nothing says it’s tied to a post — so the horse is free to move.
