You are an archaeologist that has just unearthed a long-sought triplet of ancient treasure chests. One chest is plated with silver, one with gold, and one with bronze. According to legend, one of the three chests is filled with great treasure, whereas the other two chests both house man-eating pythons that can rip your head off. Faced with a dilemma, you then notice that there are inscriptions on the chests:

• On the Silver Chest it says:
  "Treasure is in this Chest."
• On the Gold Chest it says:
  "Treasure is not in this Chest."
• On the Bronze Chest it says:
  "Treasure is not in the Gold Chest."

You know that at least one of the inscriptions is true, and at least one of the inscriptions is false. Which chest do you open and why?

Note I will not reveal the answer until someone can get realy close to it. I will make you have sleepless nights. :P

Got this from this site.

It's in the Silver chest.

The Gold chest's inscription can not be true if the Bronze one's is true and vica versa.

Yeah looks like you got it good job :D

Recap: If the Silver Chest says 'This chest has treasure in it" then it could be talking about another chest, and same with all the others. There isn't a way to tell unless you open them all and close them quickly ;)

i think Man Eating Pythons would be easy to Hear, simply press your ear next to each one.

Krazy got it.

Observe: At least one has to be true, in this case it is the Silver Chest ("Treasure is in this Chest.") and the Bronze Chest ("Treasure is not in the Gold Chest."); and at least one has to be false, in this case it is the Gold Chest ("Treasure is not in this Chest.").

How does that work? If the gold chest says, 'treasure is not in this chest' and that is false then it means treasure is in the chest.

*Smacks himself* Crap, I thought I had it. Dang! :angry:

:o Now I got it, it is in the bronze chest:
The Bronze Chest would be true - "Treasure is not in the Gold Chest."
The Gold would be true also - "Treasure is not in this Chest."
And the Silver false - "Treasure is in this Chest."
:lol:

Ok here is a new one -
If you were to put a coin into an empty bottle and then insert a cork in the bottle's opening, how could you remove the coin without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

Hint: Actually, people solve this riddle everyday. Let's say you're opening a wine bottle, and in the process you break the cork. What's the only thing left to do?

Corkscrew, suction, pressure.... :P Many solutions ;)

OOPS. :D :P :lol:
Ignore.

Push the cork in.

Glad to see you figured out your own riddle. It is pretty easy if you do it by a process of deduction: If it is in the gold chest then all 3 would be false therefore it can't be right etc. Took me about 10 seconds.
