Welcome to the site.
Rules are he who answers the last one post the next one, however if 7 wants to let you he can.

There are two roads to the castle that you want to get to. But, you do not know which road is the correct road. There are two men, who do know the correct road, that you could ask directions. It is commonly known that one will lie all the time and one will tell the truth all the time. You are only allowed one question. What do you ask and who do you ask if you want directions?

sorry I posted it before I saw the response about the rules. I guess that means I get 10 lashes with a wet noodle.

please

I was hoping the merits of the riddle would help.

Oh yeah.

Ask either man "What road would the other man tell me is the right road to the castle" and take the other one.

If you ask the liar he will tell you the other man would choose the wrong road.

If you ask the man who speaks the truth he will tell you the other man would choose the wrong road.

It's one of the most famous riddles I know.

I think to be fair it should still be 7lords turn.

Two vertical 750 ft posts have a 1000 ft rope connected between their topmost points. The rope sags to within 250 ft from the ground. How far apart are the posts?

poor people have it,
rich people need it,
and if you eat it you'll die.

If I am correct. Which I believe I am. I defer to who ever answered the last one correctly. Since I posted one prematurely yesterday.
