Well I can't tell if anyone has posted this already since everyone has named their riddles either:
<username here>'s riddle #____ A <insert difficulty here> riddle! or Another riddle!
So, I'm posting it now. This is a classic.
A man's wife is dying of an unknown disease. Through research, he finds that the symptoms are similar to those of an ancient illness, the cure for which can only be found in the village of truth, found in the jungles of Africa. Since the man couldn't land in the jungle, he had to take a dirt path to the village.
When the man came to a fork in the road, he was stumped. There was a broken sign on the ground, one pointing to the village of truth the other to a village of lies. It was impossible to tell which way the sign originally pointed. Luckily for him, each path had one man walking towards the fork. He deduced that one must have come from the village of lies while the other must have come from the village of truth.
As you can obviously tell from this, everyone in the village of truth tells the truth and everyone from the village of lies tells lies. The man wants to ask the men how to get to the truth village, but if he doesn't ask them a question soon, they'll pass him and his wife will die. What one question can he ask either man to find out which path leads to truth?
