but while you are correct, I forgot a very important detail that set this apart from the labyrinth

.

The ammendment to the riddle is as follows:
Suppose neither of the two villages know of the other's existance nor their abilities to tell truth or not.

You gain credit for giving an answer to the original question. However, I did indeed leave a part out. Mah bad,

Just a suggestion but imo it would be better if one person posted a riddle and whoever answers it correctly gets to post the next riddle. Not everyone just throwing them out whenever. That way it's kind of like a more guidelined competition.

So yeah, someone post a riddle!

*rolls eyes* This ones super easy:

"A man and his son are driving in a car, They get into a fatal accident, the man dies, and the boy is hospitalized.

When rushed in, the nurse says to the doctor "Doctor, this boy was in a serious car accident, and needs to be operated on right away."

The Doctor says "I can't operate on him, He is my son."

How is this possible?

Again, its super easy, I dont know why im bothering...someone else probably put it already.

"I have no legs, Yet I can run, What Am I?"

The man died, and the boy was hospitalized, but the other driver on the other side of the accident is the Doctor's son.

Nope, you're thinking too hard.

Seth · 03-15-2005, 03:09 AM

The doctor is the boy's grandfather?

kind of offshot but it's a try.

Nope, considering the doctor says "He is my son."

You guys are lame, and your thinking WAY too hard.

One more wrong answer and I'll just say it, I can't wait for this lameness to stop.

Ill throw out a riddle:

Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?

Also:

What stinks while living, but in death, smells good?

I was told that one in high school.

"What would you answer if I asked you what way the City of Truth is?"
If he lies, it will be a double lie, thus telling the truth.

How is this possible?

The docter is A WOMAN. The mother of te boy.

I've heard that little kids solve that with no problem at all. We're thinking too hard, too mathemetic perhaps.
But I don't know the answer.

It ends with 11.

The answer I for my labyrinth style question, assuming the man knows nothing of either city, is "which way, of these two paths, did you come from?" He will point you to the truth.

the next line would be
311312111213111412211312113211

Each next line is describing the line above....
11
21 - two ones
1211 - ^ one two, one one
11221 - ^ one one, one two, two ones

so on and so forth... the last two lines...

311312111213111412211312113211 - ^ three ones, one three, one two, one one, one two, one three, one one, one four, one two, two ones, one three, one two, one one, three two, one one
