    A hiker comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way to go to reach his destination. There are two men at the fork, one of whom always tells the truth while the other always lies. The hiker doesn't know which is which, though. He may ask one of the men only one question to find his way. Which man does he ask, and what is the question?

    Right; they would both end up saying the opposite direction of the one he's supposed to go.

    Either man should be asked the following question: If I were to ask you if this is the way I should go, would you say yes? While asking the question, the hiker should be pointing at either of the directions going from the fork.

    Correct, Either man should be asked the following question: "If I were to ask you if this is the way I should go, would you say yes?" While asking the question, the hiker should be pointing at either of the directions going from the fork.

    New riddle.

    A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?


    You searched that xD

    Lol, searched xD Exact wording~

    You need serious observation skills to get this:
    The paragraph below is most unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "



    My only hint will come in an L: Change The WorLd-esque fashion. I have no idea if any of you have seen that movie.

    This is my hint:
    Five.

    xD Yeah. It's strange because E is the most common letter in the english alphabet.

    In L:CTW they constantly solve letter puzzles by saying the number of the letter, hat where my hint was from. For instance, Near figuring out "13:11" went to MK which went to an element xD

    Here's on of the hardest riddles out there:

    "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

    It'll throw you off.
