ok heres goes, i saw the other post about the hotel room and hte 3 guests, and that inspired me to write this one up.
you are captured and brought to an abandoned warehouse. you are tied down to a chair and there are 3 men and a table with 2 drinks on it in the room. there are liquids in both the glasses that have exact physical properties, so no way of telling whats in each one.
one of the men, hold a gun, says to you, "to be freed you must drink one of these glasses. if you refuse to drink one then you will be shot. one of the cups contains fatal poison and one of them contains no poison. you can ask one question to one of these other men. the question can be anything you want, but you cant ask them to drink from one of the cups, because you would have just wasted your question, because they will simply answer 'no'. you must try, through your one question, to figure out which galss contains the poison and which does not. The trick is one of these men will always tell you the truth, and the other will always lie to you. yoiu do not get to know who is who."
ok, there is the riddle. there is one quesiton (maybe more, but one that i know of) which you ould ask to either of the men and it will get you the right info. on which one to drink.
Goodluck, and there arent any twists to it.
