You're in the Jungle
You're being chased by a big ugly monster ( original )
suddenly the road splits up.
and you stop for a second, to decide which way to go
you know, that in this area there are 2 tribes
the first tribe is an evil tribe who ALWAYS lies, and will probably eat you
the second tribe is an Good tribe who ALWAYS tells the truth and will protect you
so you wanna make sure you take the right road
while you look around you spot a man standing next to the road
you don't know if the man belongs to the good tribe, or the evil tribe
you also hear the monster comming closer, so you only have time to ask one question...
what do you ask the man?

( while you'rr asking the question you see a small sign next to the man with a list of ppl who didn't make it :()

Well prozzy you ask the man " If i was to ask the other tribe which way is safe what would they say".

If he is from the truth tribe he will point at the way that is dangerous.
If he is from the liar tribe he will think they will say the safe one but he will lie about it so he will point to the road that will kill you.

So both ways you take the other way not the one he points at :laff:

well your right, but it's a weird and long question to ask, so you don't have enough time to ask it get an answer and still be ahead of the monster
sooo you would have died ^_^

"This sentance containes two misstakes"

Sentence is wrong. Mistake is wrong. Contains is wrong. That is three mistakes. The wording in the sentence itself can't be a mistake; it's just a collection of words. The sentence as a whole might be incorrect but that isn't an error that is contained within the sentence. Technically it's three mistakes, and you have to discount the fact that it actually says something with the words listed.
Uh...it says errors in general, not just the grammar errors. That makes four.

"Take me to your village." is what you would ask...err...tell the guy
If he is a liar he will take you to the truth village.
If he is a truth-teller, he will take you to the truth village.
Either way's a victory

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

The farmer, since empty sacks weigh next to nothing. ;)

Uh, that's not a question, so I don't think that's the right answer. :eek:

I would say "Which path leads to your village?"

If he's from the liar tribe, he'll point you to the friendly village.
If he's from the friendly village, he'll point you to the friendly village.

4)Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? And yes, these are lame, but no one else is posting so there.

1) No clue
2) It's the year 1988, or, I read the riddle wrong, and by "today" you mean literally today.
3) part b, they're holding hands (or some other weird display of affection) while in a pool, or sauna, or hot tub or something... the rest, I don't know :x

Some English words have 2 of the same letters in a row. EX: lOOk, tOOk.
Name the only English word that has 3 consecutive pairs of letters.

This creature, part man and part tree,
hates the termite as much as the flea.
His tracks do not match,
and his limbs may detach,
but he's not a strange creature to see.

He who makes it does not keep it.
He who takes it does not know it.
He who knows it does not want it.
He who gathers it must destroy it.

A harvest sown and reaped on the same day
In an unplowed field,
Which increases without growing,
Remains whole though it is eaten
Within and without,
Is useless and yet
The staple of nations.

I'm a strange contradiction; I'm new, and I'm old,
I'm often in tatters, and oft decked with gold.
Though I never could read, yet lettered I'm found;
Though blind, I enlighten; though loose, I am bound,
I'm always in black, and I'm always in white;
I'm grave and I'm ***, I am heavey and light-
In form too I differ - I'm thick and I'm thin,
I've no flesh and bones, yet I'm covered with skin;
I've more points than the compass, more stops than the flute;
I sing without voice, without speaking confute.
I'm English, I'm German, I'm French, and I'm Dutch;
Some love me too fondly, some slight me too much;
I often die soon, though I sometimes live ages,
And no monarch alive has so many pages.

One tooth to bite,
he's the forests foe.
One tooth to fight,
as all Norse know.
What is it?
