The following question was presented:
This week's vote question comes courtesy of South Park. This week's episode had the kids block their parents TV with an app that only a kid would know how to answer. Now, after spending last weekend with William and his buddy Bradly watching them play minecraft, I was in tears laughing when I watched this episode of South Park. I think it really helps to have a kid and to have watched them play this game. It basically consists of them running around doing stuff that makes no sense whatsoever. Genius really! Anyway, I spent last weekend asking the question what are you doing that for or what does this do. Both questions resulted in being stared at like I was some kind of space alien and comments like D'uh, don't you know. So, this week's question is the password that was set on South Park - how do you tame a horse in minecraft?

Analysis:
I have to be honest and say that I don't actually know and I think I may have messed up as I didn't actually give the option for the right answer. I read on one site something about giving it wheat, but this is what I got from the minecraft wiki:
To tame a wild horse, approach it and right click on it with an empty hand. You will climb on top of it, and will likely be thrown off. After a few attempts, it will allow you to remain on it and will give off heart animations. At this point you can dismount it by pressing the sneak key and place a saddle on it, or you can place a saddle without using the sneak key at all by right-clicking on the horse with the saddle in hand. Horses can also be saddled by opening your inventory while mounted and moving the saddle to the appropriate slot in the horse's inventory.
So now you know. Happy minecrafting!
