I hope this isn't too confusing :)


okay...see if anyone can figure this out...your goal is to get to New York city

there are two tribe of indians at a fork on the road...at the fork ...one of the roads will take you to New York city...the other road will not take you to New York city..on the one side of the road (1st tribe of indians) lies no matter what the question is...on the other side of the road (2nd tribe of indians) tells the truth no matter what the question is...if you could only ask one question on how to get to new york city (btw...one question to one of the tribes..not one question to each tribe) what would that question be in order to get the correct answer on how to get to New York city?

Okie-dokie! Thinking about this, when I come to the fork in the road, do I know which Indian tribe tells the truth and which Indian tribe lies? That's kinda like, "heads I win, tails you lose".

Good question!

Okay if we know which tribe tells the truth and which tribe lies, I suppose we could ask the tribe that lies, "Which road goes to NYC?". Whatever road they say I'd take the other one. On the other hand we could ask the tribe that tells the truth, "Which road goes to NYC?" and take the road they say.

I just know this is a trick question. :eyebrow1qb:

Google? :groan: :francis: j/k :6u8ky2o: But, how do we know which tribe of Indians is telling the truth or lying? :happy0207:

See Annalyzer! You were correct, a trick question! My only other question would be.... Who the hell would want to go to NYC to begin with other than to get some Pace Picante Sauce? :zm10:

Answer: Which road will the other tribe tell me to take to NYC?

Then take the opposite road.

alright...I got one more for everyone :)

this question was asked during a job interview

if you are in a two seater car driving down the road (only have room for one passenger) and on the side of the road stranded you see your future boss, an elderly woman with grocery bags and the person of your dreams (soulmate) what do you do?

keep in mind...pretend this question is being asked to you during a job interview

give answer and reason why

I will let you know if you answered like the person who got the job :)

I would pick the person of my dreams/ soulmate because the person of my dreams would be filthy rich, funny, handsome. To heck with the job.:104511: Spend the rest of my days laughing at his jokes while I spend his money.

I would pick up the lady with the grocery bags and give the person of my dreams my phone number. The other man may be my future boss but I wouldn't know it at the time.

Hi Annalyzer...if you picked up the the elderly lady it meant you were too soft at heart.. didn't get the job :(

If they thought I was too soft at heart for picking up an elderly lady then I wouldn't want the job anyway.

Yes, please. :flirt99:

yea this is a tough one :)

if you picked the person of your dreams it meant you had sex on your mind
if you picked your future boss it meant you were a kiss A**
if you picked the elderly woman it meant you were soft at heart

basically the future boss setup the question to see what kind of personality each person had figuring they would answer similar to above answers

the person who got the job said he would give his keys to his future boss to drive the elderly lady to safety while he stayed behind with the soulmate :)

This one is very easy:

Who Got What Lunch?
Five people order lunch one after another. Their names, not in order, are Carol, Donald, Joey, Rachel and Sven. These are what they ordered, but not according to their names: cheeseburger, salad, chicken sandwich, hamburger and fish & chips. Each asks for an extra sauce - ketchup, mustard, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise and ranch dressing. Who got what lunch and in what order were they standing in line? Your clues are:
The first customer (not a girl) is not the one who ordered the salad.
The salad didn't have barbeque sauce on it.
Carol ate chicken for lunch and was not the last one in line.
The person who asked for ketchup had a cheeseburger.
Joey didn't eat the fish which was smothered with mustard.
Donald was in the very middle of the line.
Sven was in line after the salad-eater but before the mayonnaise lover.
