RIDDLE 1
**********************************

Here is a short one:
The Carboni family drove from San Diego to San Francisco to pay their friends a visit, stopping at a wayside rest stop along the way. What part of their car traveled the greatest distance?

The exhaust in the wind.

the shovel in the trunk?

the tires?

Good answer!

The gasoline, becouse it travaled all the way from the middle east?

Hmmm...as I know virtualy nothing about the Geography of California...the front tire, passenger side

Here's one...


You're walking down a road and come upon a fork in the road. There is a person standing there.

Now, you know that there is a village down each of the forks in the road: the village of truth tellers is down one and the village of liars is down the other. But you don't know WHICH way either of these villages is.

Keep in mind that the person is from one of these villages. Someone from the village of truth tellers will ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. Someone from the village of liars will ALWAYS LIE. But you don't know which village the person standing there is from.

So....what SINGLE question can you ask the person standing at the fork in the road that will get you the same answer, whether they are a truth teller OR a liar, and thus allow you to deduce which village lies down which fork in the road?

Yeah I was thinking tires too....

I'd say the crankshaft or pistons...

And I know the answer. Though I find it somewhat questionable.

Lets say the piston stroke is reeeeaaly short on this ride! You are a smart one.
(also the tires spin but technically don't go farther)

It is the Ignition key, because the driver put it in their pocket when they walked into the wayside rest stop, then walked back out, and finally put it in their pocket and walked up the steps to their friends house after parking.

Bob’s wife finally got him off the couch on Saturday around noon, he is finally cleaning out the garage today, he takes two trips to the dump in his ‘74 Chevy Luv pickup. After the second trip, his truck weighs less empty than it did before he loaded up the first load. Why?

Which fork does NOT lead to your village?

quote Originally posted by OKflyboy: Which fork does NOT lead to the truth tellers village?

This one is on the right track, but not quite right. The truth teller would point to the liars village and the liar would point to the truth tellers village in answering this question.

edited my original response

quote Originally posted by OKflyboy: Which fork does NOT lead to your village?

Okay, now we're there. But the simplest way to ask this is to ask: "Which way to your village?" Both will point to the truth teller's village every time. Yours works too- I forgot that one could word it that way!

He left his wife at the dump.

There are two Malaysians standing on the street corner. They're having a conversation. One of them is the father of the other's son. How could this be?

One of them is Father of a church the other's son attends?

Interesting approach but sorry no.

Doh! Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. They are a married couple, or at least, one is a man, one is a woman and they have a son together... (It doesn't say they're both men...)
