species5478 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Question: You walk up to a mountain that has two paths. One leads to the other side of the mountain, and the other will get you lost forever. You meet two twins who know the path that leads to the other side. You can ask each twin only one question. The problem? One always lies and one always tells the truth, and you don't know which is which. What do you ask to find the path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
species5478 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Answer: Ask each twin, "Which path would your brother take?". Why? Let's say the correct path is on the left side. You asked the liar, "What would your brother say?" Well, the liar would know his brother was honest and he would say the left side, but since the liar lies, he would say right. If you asked the honest twin the same question, he would say right, because he knows his brother will lie. Therefore, you would know that the correct path was the left...

SilverDNA Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thank you species5478! Ok, I thought on up. "If someone moves closely by I move, But else I'm standing still.I can weep for hours, But when I'm done I die.You can touch my warm tears, But if you touch my burning eye you shall feel pain.What am I?" :whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDNA Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 ;) The burning eye is the best clue. :yes:The weeping is only a metaphor for something that looks similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
