Well since you know you are not one of the cursed you can go down a tunnel yourself but you want a good answer from the rest so you split the groups in three leaving two left. Let those two go down one tunnel and the other six go down two separate tunnels as well. When you all meet back 20 minutes later either you have found the tunnel or someone else. Now look at the rule majority rules. If the group of three has 2 people saying it wasn't down that tunnel then you should know it wasn't down that tunnel and one of the liars have been spotted. Same with the other group of three as well as the group of two. Judging by the answers the groups gave you, you should go down the right tunnel and head to safety while the spirits possessing the two people should leave and all is well.

This was Gollum's final riddle from The Hobbit:
"This thing all things devours;
Bird, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slay king, ruins town,
and beats a mountain down."
This riddle is from the 5th Harry Potter movie and book, so if you've read or seen them, please skip to the next riddle!
"First think of the person
who lives in disguise,
who deal in secrets
and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what's always
the last thing to mend,
the middle of middle and
end of end? And finally,
give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"
In a recreational activity, you are given four different jars of 2 liters, 4 liters, 6 liters and 8 liters respectively with an unlimited water supply. Then you are asked to measure exactly 5 liters of water using them.
How will you do it?
Today is more windy than yesterday, will a return flight take the same time, less time, or the same amount of time to complete?
(The 'Google Riddles' are interview questions those who wish to get hired were asked).
Let's do a worked example. Lets say our plane has to travel 300 miles there and 300 miles back. It has a standard cruising speed of 600mph. In the case of no wind it will travel the 600 miles in 1 hour exactly. Simple enough. Let us say that the wind speed is 100mph so the plane will be wind assisted to 700mph and slowed to 500mph - Wind Assisted: 300 miles at 700mph takes 0.429 hours - Wind Slowed: 300 miles at 500mph takes 0.6 hours - Total Time: 1.029 hours
You've got a sack of corn, a chicken, and a fox. You have to cross a river, but you can only carry them one at a time. If you leave the chicken with the sack of corn, the chicken will eat the corn. If you leave the fox alone with the chicken, the fox will eat the bird.
How can you get all three things across the river safely?
Cross the river with the chicken, then go back and carry the corn over the river. However, instead of leaving the corn with the bird, return together with the chicken. Cross the river for the third time with the fox, leaving the chicken behind. Leave the fox with the sack of corn, and return for the last time to get the chicken. Done!
You have 3 boxes. One of them contains a prize. You were allowed to pick just one of them.
You pick - and it's empty.
With 2 boxes left, you now have one box in your hand and another box in front of you. If given the chance to exchange your box with the box in front of you, would you do it? Why, and why not?
(The 'Google Riddles' are interview questions those who wish to get hired were asked).
In the beginning, with 3 boxes, things were simple. You had a chance of 1 in 3 to find the prize. NOW we know that one of the boxes is empty but you still made a guess of 1 in 3, now you have a new choice of 1 in 2. Your probability goes up and that is why you SHOULD CHANGE THE BOX.
Don't feel bad if you disagree, this riddle has been hotly debated.
