aboyfrombklyn Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 You're walking down a road when you run into two men. The two men are standing side by side before a split in the road. They inform you that one way leads to heaven and the other leads to hell, but they don't tell you which one is which. So how do you find out which way is to heaven????? There are 2 rules to this riddle:1. You are only allowed to ask one question to one of them (not a question to each person, just one question)2. One of the men is a truthful and the other is a liar, but you don't know which one is which.And yes, it is possible. Think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegirl Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 i got iti'd ask one do u want to fuck meif he responds no then he must be the liar, hahaseriously now, i think ur missing somethingcause then even if with my question i find out who is the liarhow would i know which way is to heavendid u forget to mention that the liar is standing in front of hell??i dont know maybe im just not smart enoughbut at least i can tell whose lying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboyfrombklyn Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 I'll give you a little hint. The key is NOT to find out who the liar is (which is impossible, believe me on this), but to find out which way heaven is.Don't bother asking questions like "Are you the liar" or "Is he lying to me". It won't work.Have fun!Sorry, but I went crazy for 45 minutes before I figured it out. I deserve to have a little fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why:If you asked the truthful guy which way is heaven, he would tell you the truth and point you to that direction, right? But, you can't forget that you don't know if he's telling you the truth. The only way to verify that is if you ask the liar the same question, but you can't since you only have one question.

heretic909 Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 For the question, ask "Did you see that?" as you're looking past them. When they turn around to look, snap both of their necks. Then light a cigarette, turn around and go back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo Seriously, A someone asked me that riddle a couple of years ago, and till this day I still havent figured that stupid thing out and trust me I have tried. I have come to the realization that the answer is just to simple for me to think of. I hope you actually do know the answer, because i have asked people before in hopes that they would come up with the answer and they would get mad when i tell them i dont know either.

upjumpdaboogie Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 walk down one road, and ask one man, what the other man would say, with regards to it being the right road or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrankadelic Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 how bout this: ask them what the other man would answer if I asked them which is the road leading to hell.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboyfrombklyn Posted October 18 Author Report Share Posted October 18 Originally posted by phrankadelic how bout this: ask them what the other man would answer if I asked them which is the road leading to hell.?? Exactly!!! You got it right.You either: Ask one guy what the other guy would tell you if you asked him which one sent you to hell, and then take the opposite path. Let's assume hell is to the right. If you asked the liar what the truthful guy would tell you, the liar would of course lie to you and say that the truthful guy would point you to the left, which really is heaven, but he doesn't want you to know that. If you asked the truthful guy what the liar would tell you, he would tell you that the liar would point to the left (which is heaven) to try to trick you into going right, which is hell. This is why you choose the opposite path. OR Ask one guy what the other guy would tell you if you asked him which one sent you to heaven, and then take that path. Let's assume heaven is to the left. If you asked the liar what the truthful guy would tell you if you asked where hell was, the liar would try to trick you by telling you that the truthful guy would send you to the left which is hell, but it really is heaven. If you asked the truthful guy what the liar would tell you if you asked where hell was, he would point to heaven, knowing that the liar would point there trying to make you believe it's hell, when it's really heaven. This is why you choose that path. You never actually figure out who the liar is or who the truthful guy is, but you do figure out what path to take. If you still can't figure it out, draw it. It might make it easier. But believe me, it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
