Choose an answer
A.There were actually 100 peaches.
B.Only one horse took a peach.
C.It's a trick, it's impossible.
D.Each is the name of one of the kings and he's the only one that took one!
Hint: It's a 17-word phrase with 55 letters, starting with "E".
Answer
Each is the name of one of the kings and he's the only one that took one!
Why this is the answer
The trick is that 'Each' is used as a proper name (one of the 50 kings), so only that single king actually took a peach, leaving 49.
