Posted: Mon, 17th Oct 2005 16:12 Post subject: What would you question be? |
|
 |
You´re out wandering in the desert. You´ve been out here for days, without food and water. You then come to a place where there is a man, and two roads, left and right. One of the roads leads to a city, where you can get help and supplies, and the other leads even deeper into the desert. You have to reach the city by the morning, or else you will die. Now, this man who sits on the ground, he knows wich way leads to the city. Problem is, he only answers one question - and every other day he lies. What would your question be?
(Note: Some of you may have already heard this one..)

Since he lies every other day, you wouldn´t know if he was telling the truth today..
@ChinUp: Hmm, that wouldn´t work, would it? Cause you don´t know if he´s lying today or not..

Sure it works .. today he would tell you the lie .. just like tomorrow .. you get the lie .. so you know to go the other way //
hay old man, if I asked you which way it was to town tomorrow, which way would you tell me was the way ?
-------------------------------------------------------->
old man .. if telling truth today .. would tell you the wrong way .. becouse he tells you the lie he would tell tomorrow
old man .. lying today .. so he will lie about the truth he would tell tomorrow ..
<------------------------------------------------------
so both ways you get the lie .. & you know which way to go .. the opposite to the way he said ..
its a NAND gate or some shit .. electronics

Here are some more (maybe not as good/hard as the first one though)
Feel free to add more.
1. Three kids from Bristol went for a walk. About a mile into the walk, they came to a deep, wide river. There was no bridge. They didn't have a boat or raft, or any materials to make one. None of them could swim.
How did they cross the river?
2. A man and his son were on a tour of an atomic power plant. In the control room, the boy asked if he could see the controls for the reactor core. The head physicist said yes, and explained how the controls worked. After the boy left, the head physicist turned to an assistant and said, "That was my son."
How could that be?
3. A true story: a white horse jumped over a tower and landed on a priest, who immediately disappeared from the landscape.
Where did this take place?
4. Lisa walked out the back door of the farmhouse on a Thursday afternoon and found a man's pipe, a scarf and three lumps of coal lying on the wet grass. They weren't there on Tuesday and no one had been near the house for weeks.
Where did the objects come from?

*Siren Sounds* Grammar Police. Put your hands up.

Now sir, do you know what you did wrong? *cuts you off before you can answer* You incorrectly placed a pronoun "you" where you should have correctly placed the pronoun "your" as your indicates ownership.

#3 is wrong, and the answer for #1:
Spoiler: | It was winter, so the river was frozen. They walked across. |
