Below you'll find
something for your head; maybe a real brain teaser, or maybe
just a hypothetical question. Hopefully it will make you
think . I hope to change them every week. At the bottom of
the page you can see the previous ones. They're numbered,
with #1 being the oldest one. If you have something you would
like to submit, please e-mail it to me, I'll check it out
and if it's up to my standards (yeah, like I got standards),
I'll post it, and give you credit. If it's a riddle, please
include the answer as I don't have time anymore to figure
them out (you got any idea how much time this site takes ?
Have fun ! Good luck !
The
Camel Race
As the old Sheikh
Mansur lay dying, he called his two sons Ahmed and Ali
together. "go my sons" he whispered. "Ride
across the desert to the city of Damascus. Whoever's camel
crosses the city gate last shall win for the owner of my
entire fortune of gold."
Off rode the two sons
across the desert sands. As expected, they were in no
particular hurry. Each was waiting for his brother to lead
the way ! After weeks of dilly dallying they were finally
within sight of the city gates. An old beggar happened upon
the two brothers as they played out the delaying game and
inquired about their strange behavior. On being told the
facts of the matter, the beggar leaned forward to the two
brothers who were sitting wearily on the sand and gave a
suggestion to the two brothers.
Immediately the two
young men rushed to the camels nearby and were soon galloping
furiously towards the city.
What did the beggar
say to them ?
