“Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned.
“Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!”
“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”

A man is mourning at a funeral, you offer your condolances and ask whether he was colse to the dead man, he replies: "Brothers and sisters, I have none. But that man's father is my father's son."

How is the Mourning man related to the dead man?

Stab in the dark: The dead bloke is either a cousin or related to the vicar (holy father).

his son

since he has no siblings, he is the only son of his father, and since the deceased's father is the son of his father, he must be his father. Therefore it's his son who died!!!
go DL

Coffee, ne? Elizabeth has two Es, as does Steve, Helen, and George, as opposed to one E, like the rest.

Actually, it is his dad. "That man's father, is my fathers son. He is his fathers son, and therefore, that man's father.

You have been zapped into this room by means unknown. There are two doors on one side of the room, there are two computers. It even seems they are each guarding a door.

There are two signs, and a leper in the room with you.

The first sign reads:

"Behind one door is God realization. Behind the other door is a room painted entirely green. The only things in that room are a man and a ladder, both of which are painted entirely green. The man has been hired by the coalition of Gangsta Rappers to hurl a non-stop barrage of insults at anyone who enters the room. " (end sign 1)

The second sign sits between the two computers (also the two doors) and reads as follows:

"One of these computers is programmed to lie to you regardless of how friendly you are to the user interface, the other computer is programmed to tell the truth, regardless of your emotional state."

It is about this time that the gangrenous leper begins to speak "I get you deal on phone time $.08 minutes weekdays all odd hours. $.10 on Thursday except the hour between 2:00 and 3:00, or any registered birthday . . . "

He begins to - quite slowly - lurch towards you, he's already reaching out towards you, you get the sense he's a "touchy-feely" sorta person. You quickly calculate you have time to ask one computer one question before he reaches you. The riddle before you is this: What question do you ask, and to which computer do you pose your question? Remember, you don't know whether the computer's answer will be a lie, and you've got to figure out which door to go out.

Hints:
1) You've heard great things about God realization, 2) It doesn't matter which computer you ask, i.e. there's an answer for both.

This is a variant on one we've heard before -- ask either one "Which door would the other computer tell me goes to God Realization?", and go through the other one. If you ask the lying computer, it will lie about the truthful computer and give you the wrong door. If you ask the truthful computer, it will tell the truth about the lying computer and also give you the wrong door.

Wasn't this is Labyrinth? Haven't seen it in years, but I want to say it was the gist of the riddle Alph and Ralph told Sarah.
