Iām not ashamed to say it took me a minute to realize that the lizards were chameleons. 2 speeds, slow and stop.
A riddle!
If you canāt stand it, hereās the link to the page with all the comments. I think one is right.
Cassette? Vas ist das, Cassette?
Since most of the riddles here are older than I am, and Iām 77, here is another:
Youāre lost in a jungle where 2 warring tribes live. One tribe always tells the truth. One tribe always lies. No way to tell them apart. Both tribes have very little patience. If you ask either more than one question, they will refuse to answer and simply ignore you.
You come to a fork in the road. You know one path leads to salvation, the other leads deeper into the jungle where lions and tigers will eat you. Sitting there is a native of one of the tribes. What ONE question can you ask him to learn which path leads to salvation?
Heard this one many times, slight variants. Good one.
Do you mind if I follow you?
Idk,lol, are you going to tell us the answer?
Muth, when you arrive at the fork, you ask āwhat path would the other tribe tell me to takeā and then you go on the opposite.
If you got the truthful guy, heād answer with the (liars) bad path.
If you got the lying guy, heād lie and say the bad path.
Um, but I thought you canāt tell the difference between the two tribes. My thinking is that no one will go down a path where youāll get eaten by lions and tigers so Iāll just wait and see which path he eventually takes for himself. Maybe not the best answer for a riddle but I think my chances might have been good. Lol. Iām too pragmatic.
Reminds me of a joke about a guy that dies and goes to hell.
Satan tells him he has the choice of spending eternity behind one of 3 doors.
Satan shows him whatās behind door #1. Everyone was crying and standing on their heads. The guy says that looks bad. How about door 2?
Satan shows him door #2 and same thing . Everyone crying and screaming while standing on their heads.
Guy says no way I can do that.
Satan shows him door #3. Everyone is joking and laughing and drinking coffee but they are standing in knee deep shit.
Guy says it smells bad but I can deal with it. Says Iāll stay in door 3.
Satan says very well and sends him in and locks the door. He starts meeting the others and everyone is having a great time.
All of a sudden Satanās voice comes over the intercom, All Right assholes, coffee break is over. Get back on your heads!
Big_Vapeās answer works, and is even more elegant that the one I remember. Point to one path and ask, āIf I ask you if that path leads to salvation, will you say yes?ā
Itās the logic of a double negative.
Omg, did you ever read Danteās Inferno? Just like that, except for the doors
