heres one...A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie."Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?Here is a even better one..A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

1. the first one is impossible, as if he's telling the truth, then the end of the statement says he's lying. and if he's lying, by stating that statement, then he's always telling the truth. 2. the man wrote the words "your exact weight" on the piece of papermakes you think though.

took me forever to figure out how the man won the $50 from the kid. As for the first one, took me about 2 minutes.. and yes, it is impossible to have an answer, it is one of those never ending things.Super Demon, the answer is Egg. That one has been done before, just with different wording :lol: The liar/truth Village riddle... simple.. Just look at the sign above the village saying either Truth Village or Liar Village :lol:

A man walks up to you and says - "everything I say to you is a lie.Is he telling you the truth or is he lying?If hes lying here then he can some times tell the truth. He can be liening here its only impossible if hes telling the truth/dragoonv76: Ask in either villiage if the other villiage would say they are in liarville. If he says they will say Yes then you are in liarville because a real liarville resident would say No. If he says they will Say No than your are in Truthville because he is telling you truthfully how a liarville resident would respond.

A traveller is walking along a quiet road. He comes to a fork which branches off to two intersections. Two men stand there, one in the middle of each track. Before the man reaches them a bystander walking past informs him that those two men are brothers who guard the road, because one of the tracks lead to death. One is a man who always tells lies while the other always tells the truth.Nobody knew which man was which. However, they could not find out because they were only allowed to ask one question to each person: So the traveller decides to try and outwit them.He asks one question to each man and then walks down a path. What did he ask them?

[/QUOTE]A traveller is walking along a quiet road...[QUOTE]I think this is almost the same as the other one but just put in different wordsl...So the traveller ask "are u two brothers" Sorry ME!Dragon, that's not what he asked...here's the right answer.THE MAN WENT TO EACH BROTHER AND ASKED THEM WHAT THEIR BROTHER WOULD SAY IF HE ASKED THEM WHICH TRACK WAS THE SAFE ONE TO TAKE. THE BROTHER WHO TOLD THE TRUTH POINTED TO THE RIGHT PATH, KNOWING HIS BROTHER WOULD TELL A LIE. AND THE BROTHER WHO TOLD LIES POINTED AT THE RIGHT PATH, KNOWING THAT THE OTHER BROTHER WOULD TELL THE TRUTH AND POINT TO THE LEFT TRACK.SO THE MAN TOOK THE LEFT TRACK, THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT BOTH MEN TOLD HIM.

Easy, all u need to do is read if the all the switch is on then switch all of them on at the same time.

if you did that then how would you know which switch turns it on.my answer would be open the door, leave it open and then play with the switches.heres onea man was 10 feet south of a bear. he walks 30 feet to the west and shoots north, and hits the bear. what color is the bear

That would probably help if I knew how much 10 feet is. I'm a metric guy, you see.I too would have to venture that it is impossible to determine the colour of the bear, except that whatever colour it once had, there would now be some red on it due to a bleeding wound.

I'd say the bear had no colour because it didn't exist. In order for you to build a house with four sides facing north, you'd have to build it directly on top of the South Pole. All four sides of the house would be facing away from the South Pole and therefore facing north. There are no bears in Antartica.There are bears in the arctic, however. They're polar bears and they're white. However, if you build a house directly on top the North Pole, all four sides of the house would be facing south (away from the North Pole).Therefore the answer is, the bear had no colour, because the bear did not exist.However, if all four sides of your house were facing the magnetic north (which is actually the south pole) then and only then would the colour of the bear be white.

Ah, so it wasn't a mistake on your behalf, eh? For a moment there, I thought you meant to say all sides facing south, because otherwise the riddle wouldn't have made sense what with there being no bears in the Antartica. I see...And I can't answer the other one. I don't know how much a foot is, so I can't really say where the man is.

the bear is white, it is a polar bearthis is beacuse the bear is standing exactly on the north pole, so, even if the hunter walked west, the bear would till be north to him

This is an old riddle. The answer is traditionally, half-way. If you walk more than half-way, you'd thus be starting to walk out of the forest.Here, I've got one myself.Water makes up what percentage of the Earth?
