Was bored so figured I would ask all of you a question :sly:


Question is..


You have to cross a river. You also have a tiger, a sheep, and a small amount of grass with you. There's a boat available that could be used for transportation to the other side of the river. Thing is, the boat can only support one of the items (Tiger, Sheep or Grass) you have at a time along with you to the other side of the river.



If you take the grass with you, the tiger eats the sheep.

If you take the tiger with you, the sheep eats the grass.

Same thing happens on the other side.



How would you save all three and cross the river?
 
Sheep first.

Bring grass next.

Bring sheep back on return trip.

Bring tiger across.

Go back for sheep.

Bring it across.

Tiger eats everyone.

Done!

DAMN!

You got it lol

Well I have a another one if anyone's interested :sly:


You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which.

The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth
 
Just get Google Maps out, it's not that hard lol
I guess you say soemthing along the lines of "Can I have more than one question?"
 
Ah, I know this one, because someone did it to me except replaced the cities with heaven and hell.

Alright for the answer: you ask one of the doors if the other door is lying, if he says yes, then you go through the door you are at, if it says no, then you walk to the other door. Simple.

You ask "Which door would the other door tell me to take?" And then proceed to take whichever one isn't mentioned.
 
Smoke the grass, and get high. Kill and eat the sheep, share it with the tiger. Tiger sleeps with a full belly. Club tiger over the head with sheep bone, sell tiger on the black marget for $12,000.

So, I'm high, full belly and got $12,000 in my pocket. I win.

Ask door on left, "You're a talking door?" Then ask the other door, "Is the other door a talking door?"
 
In point of fact, the actual riddle is that you can only speak to ONE of the doors.
In that event, the best you can do is to ask either what the other will say.
Based on that answer, you choose the opposite door.

And Solid is half right.
You bag up enough grass for your personal use.
Sell the remainder, by the dimebag. Make a fortune. Cause it weighs nearly what the tiger does.
Sell the tiger for $12,000.
Invite everyone over for rack of lamb.
Chop up up the boat for fire wood to cook that lamb.

Roll up some of what you saved for "personal use" and have an after dinner party.

Been to the other side of the river, and the grass is NOT greener.
(It is, however, full of stems and seeds)

Well if you get a response from "Are you a talking door?" then you know that that's the truth door. It's a yes-only question.

Throw the tiger in the water cause there's no way I'm riding in a boat with a tiger.

Tigers have been known to be rather good swimmers.
