The tractor could have been driven onto a small mountain, and then the lake formed around it.
Edit: Hidden
You have to do:

Code: Select all

| comes from "shift" + \, which is above enter.

EDIT: WOW!

At zz, if this isn't right...I don't know what is:
The tractor ISN'T on the island! It gives rides AROUND the island, AROUND the lake!

Was a tunnel involved?
Edit: Ok, I think I have it. This is similar to another riddle I've heard, involving a river.
During the wintertime, when the lake was frozen, the tractor drove across the ice.

Winneratlife: No, then it would sink
Amerikestrel: No.
Amerikestrel: Try 3: Yes!

I want to get one more riddle in before I get off; try this one:
A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

A man was 50 years old in 2000. In 2003, he was 47 years old. How is this possible?
