This randomly popped into my head. Learned on some church function ages ago. Not a bad one, and not too complex. There are two types of Ind... err Native Americans that live in this forest you are lost in. The blue tribe and the red tribe. The blue tribe ALWAYS tell the truth. The Red tribe ALWAYS lies. You come to a fork in the road. One way is the way out, the other leads deeper into the forest. In the fork is a Native American. You have apparently taken way too much peyote as you cannot tell what color he is. You can still communicate though (yeah, the original version involved it being too dark, but this is my version). You get one question, and one question only. What is the one question you can ask not knowing what tribe the Indian is from, and be guaranteed you'll be going the right way.
Ask the what the other tribe would say, and go the other way. I think I might've heard this before, the answer popped into my head immediately but it took a minute or two to figure out if it was right.
Lol.. Yeah, you got it Alchy. It's actually pretty easy if you strip it down to what it is. Gotta go for the double-negative. Anyone else got one? I have one other one from a friend but it won't work unless I'm online a while. You basically ask questions to narrow down what happened in a certain situation. It's pretty crazy. I actually got it, but it took like half a day at work.
Heh. Ok, here's one: Alex, Karen, and Dave are drinking tea. George, Helen, and Steve are drinking Orange juice. Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking tea or Orange juice?
I have a small riddle too: There's 10 types of people in the world. They are... answer in one sentence, using a maximum of one comma
Hah. That's a better answer than I had, which was that she was drinking Orange juice: Elizabeth has e & e instead of just a single e. Pure chance your answer works, by the way, since I changed a couple of the names from the original to make it harder to google an answer It's the number of e's in the names, for anyone who didn't catch calpis' solution.
There's 10 types of people in the world. They are... those who understand binary, and those who don't?
Nice one. I think I've seen that on a shirt... Two men are walking, one disappears, the other starts running. What happened?
o rly? dang. That's the one I always like to pull out...that or the Hobbit riddles. But most people know those...
It's not a riddle. It's a very old joke. I like these. Hmmm.... One guy falls down a whole, the other is running to get help? Lame, I know.
