The lights went out
Last week I turned off the light in my room and jumped into my bed that was 3 meters away from the switch before the room got dark.
How can it be true?
The Fork in The Road
You are travelling down a country lane to a distant village.
You reach a fork in the road and find a pair of identical twin sisters standing there.
- One standing on the road to village and the other standing on the road to neverland (of course, you don’t know or see where each road leads).
- One of the sisters always tells the truth and the other always lies (of course, you don’t know who is lying).
- Both sisters know where the roads go.
You are allowed to ask only one question to one of the sisters to find the correct road to the village.
