    You are on a road and as you're walking you came accross 2 man standing next to two roads. As you approach them you ask for direction. THey both tells you that one of them will always tells the truth and the other always tells nothing but lies, but they both blame eachother to be the lier. So how do you find out which way to go? take the wrong way and you will regret it. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

    In the longer version of this riddle each man is from a seperate village and you need to get to the village of the man who says the truth, so in order to do that you ask either of them to take you to their village, the truthful one will easilly do it and in order to lie the other guy has to take you to the village of the truthful man.

    You can't change the question, asshole. It was about what we'd do when the world ended when I posted.

    Kid, it's not that your topics themselves are horrendous. I mean this riddle is bad, don't get me wrong, but I've seen worse. The problem is that it seems like you didn't even spend three seconds thinking about the shit you wrote. I made this post in less than a minute, but I still made sure all my spelling was correct, or I at least gave it a twice over. I use complete sentences for the most part, unless I'm not using them to emphasize a point.

    I capitalize correctly, etc. I understand this is just some forum to you, you don't want it to be an English class, but come on, at least put in the effort. If you do that little bit, you'll be amazed at how much more seriously people take your posts.

    Just compare these two examples. Context, you want to insult George Bush for example. If you're Republican, just edit out Bush's name and insert whoever you want.

    1. georgie sux bcause he stuipd fuck!!!1 no1 vote for him either

    2. George Bush is an idiot, he didn't even win the election because no one actually voted for him. He's a fucking horrible president.

    Both say the same thing, nor does post 2 shy away from cursing or anything. Post 2 took all of a second and a half longer to write than post 1. And post 2 will be met with respect, because while many people will disagree with it, it still appears much more professional than 1 does. Got it?

    Well put, though like you said, some of us will disagree with the Bush sentiment.

    --- ask them what the other one would have said. They both will point into the direction that you SHOULDn't go.

    *yawns and goes back to hybernation*

    I can't believe you went out of Hyber Nation just to answer the Discovery / Labyrinth riddle. You could die because of that, you know?

    No, not really.

    Here's not one, but six *real* super hard riddles:

    1. If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

    2. 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?

    3. A woman has 7 children, half of them are boys. How can this be possible?

    4. A farmer and his hired help were carrying grain to the barn. The farmer carried one sack of grain and the hired help carried two sacks. Who carried the heavier load and why?

    5. George, Helen, and Steve are drinking coffee. Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda. Using logic, is Elizabeth drinking coffee or soda?

    6. I cannot be felt, seen or touched; Yet I can be found in everybody;
    My existence is always in debate; Yet I have my own style of music. What Am I?

    1. Depends wether he passed you again or not. Or if you've also passed the one in 1st place.

    2. Lieing, because if he was telling the truth it wouldnf't be a lie.

    3. One of them is dead?

    4. The farmer because he had to pay the man :p

    5. Neither, Elisabeth (being English) was drinking tea.

    6. God.

    1. 2nd. If you didn't pass the first one too.

    2. Lying. If he was telling the truth it would still be a lie since he wasn't lying then.

    3. Four or more are boys. Then half of them are boys, and some of the rest too. Or some are transexuals.

    4. The farmer, the help just carried two sacks, no grain.

    5. Coffee, two "e"s in her name.

    6.Soul.

    Really hard riddles DU. You suck too.
