Under Water Kid

A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, “That’s nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes without using any equipment or air pockets!” The magician told the kid if he could do that, he’d give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

Riddle Answer

Steak or Fettuccine Alfredo

Harry went out to dinner with his friends Larry, Barry, and Gary. Harry sat across from Gary. At Gary’s right, opposite Barry, sat Larry.

When the waiter came for their orders, Larry and Barry ordered steak. Gary chose fish, and Harry (who likes to be difficult) ordered like this: “Unless the man at the left of the man opposite the man who ordered fish is not having what the man across from the man at the right of the man at my left is having, then I’ll have what the man across from the man at the right of the man opposite me ordered. Otherwise, bring me the Fettuccine Alfredo.”

Assuming “right” and “left” is from the viewpoint of the diners, what did Harry order?
