Love?

And yes, it was in Labyrinth. "One door leads to the castle, the other leads to certain doooooom." Shortly before Sarah picks the wrong door and goes to the Oubliette. Now was that what was meant to happen, though? So we never did know if she was right until the Goblin King said she shouldn't have gotten that far.

A sheik announced that a race would decide which of his two sons would inherit all his wealth. The sons were to ride their camels to a certain distant city. The son whose camel reached the city last would be given all the sheik's wealth.

The two sons set out on the journey. After severals days of aimless wandering, they met and agreed to seek the advice of a wiseman. After listening to the wiseman's advice, the two sons rode the camels as quickly as possible to the designated city.

What was it that the wiseman told the two sons? They did not agree to split the wealth, and their father's decree would be followed.

I would think that the wise man told the two to exchange camels, thereby setting the stage for the son that reaches first (and therefore, beating his brother on his own camel which is coming in last) to inherit the wealth. Also, I noticed that before their meeting with the wise man, the riddle says "their camels", and after the meeting, it says "the camels", indicating that they weren't riding their own camels, but maybe that's being too meticulous.

Jerry, too meticulous blink.gif


If this is the correct answer, anyone else can post a riddle

Seeing as this one's up for grabs, here's one:

Below is a safe. It has an electronic lock on it. You must press all 16 buttons in the correct order. The last button pressed must be the green Enter key. The pattern will become clear as you study the buttons. The question is, which button must you press first in the sequence?

Bury it. It works because you can't see the elephant.

Nope, you paint it's toenails red.

You know it works, because have you ever seen an elephant in a strawberry patch?

QH, you can go now.

Apparently many people like my picture riddles. Therefore, I was doodling for ages (as Drie can confirm) to come up with this beauty:
