i have got a real head **** riddle
Right you walk to a fork in the road, one road leads to the town you want to go to, there are no signs nothing, so you have no idea which road to take, there are however two brothers at the fork in the road, 1 tells the truth, 1 tells lies, you don't know which one is which.
Right you can only ask one of them one question, how do you find your way to the town?

"What would the other one say?"
If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = ????
Dude, Thats not a riddle............that's math!
I know but it's all mind usage haha. apparently you need an IQ over 120 to get this one...
If:
2 + 3 = 10
7 + 2 = 63
6 + 5 = 66
8 + 4 = 96
Then:
9 + 7 = 144

Yeah, somebody who was willing to pay for it, they will try and get anyone in there. So long ago since I done the proper mensa test. Think I was 10 when I done it, killed a few of those brain cells since with alcohol though :laugh:
You can never say no to this question but its hard for you to see its easy to answer and with this you became to be. What is the question?

It took me about 5 read-overs to get the joke... Never going to get into mensa at this rate.
lots of close answers, like i said head ****.
Lets say there is road 1 and 2, but lets say road 1 is to the town, the question you can ask either brother is, which way would your brother send me to the town.
Ask the one telling the truth, he knows his brother is the liar so he says, "my brother would send you down road 2".
Ask the liar and, he knows his brother is going to tell the truth and send him the correct way down road 1, but he is the liar so he will say road 2 to.
Therefore do the opposite to both answers and you get to the town.
phil
The simple answer is that you don't need to ask any questions of the two brothers, ignore them. There is only one road. Just pick the fork up and use it to eat the chips you are going to buy when you get to Whitley Bay.

i have deleted the answer so anybody else who wants to answer it can but if you was trying to work it out why was you still looking at the thread there was bound to be an answer eventually.
Finished :) that got my brain thinking. Im sure there is an easier way to solve it but worked out the definates first. Then worked out all the colours, the nationalities, then the rest managed to get solved after that. and the *answer* does own the fish which has already been said :(

How can a dead frog jump :confused: or the pond isn't round, or there are more than 1 lilly-pad in the pond, or swim the way. Take your pick.
