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 ?
