Here is what I think is a nice riddle, if you have never heard of it you'll have a hard time solving it I think. If you already know the riddle & answer please don't tell.
If you crack it I'll be impressed.
There is guy on his way to city A. He walks the road till there comes a point where the road splits.
One road leading to city A, one road leading to city B.
On this point there is a house with two identical twinbrothers living there. Identical except for one thing; one brother always speaks the truth, the other brother always lie.
This guy is allowed to ask only one question to one of the brothers, but he has no idea which one of the brothers will open the door. (he does knows one always speaks the truth and the other one will always lie)
Which question does he have to pop, to be sure he will be given the right direction to city A?

lets say the left hand fork was to city a and the right hand fork to city b.
the man could ask the folowing question to any brother answering the door...."If i asked your brother what way it was to the city A what would he answer?" The lying brother would know his brother would answer left so he would say "my brother would answer right". The truthful brother would know his brother would answer right so he would say "my brother would answer right"
no matter what brother he meets at the door he would know that he has to go the opposite way they give in ther answer
