Joshua E.!
At least we think he's the winner. The answer he gave is different than our answer, but we think his works too.
The riddle was:
You are traveling, and you come to a fork in the road. One road leads to a jungle full of cannibals, the other to a beautiful paradise. You do not know which road leads to which place. There are two men standing at the fork; one always tells lies, the other always speaks truth, and you do not know which is which. You may ask them ONE question – the same question to both men. What question do you ask them that will tell you which way to go?
Joshua's answer is:
"What will the other guy tell me if I ask him if this path goes to the beautiful paradise?"
Our answer is:
"What will the other man tell me if I ask him which road to take?"
With both questions you would get the same answer, and then would take the opposite road to the one they told you. Does that make sense?
Like I said, we thought about Joshua's answer (or is it question...) for a while and we are pretty sure it works! This one was tricky for all, I guess! :-)
