Here's a variation on the Labrynth riddle, see if you can get this one:

You find two doors, in front of each door stands a guard. They both tell you the same thing:

"One door leads to the correct path out of the Labrynth, the other leads to certain death. You are allowed to ask one question only. One of us will only tell you what is true, while the other will tell nothing but lies to you."

What question should you ask to find the correct door?
What will the other guy say?
Nope, keep trying.
I ask which door leads to the castle.

One Guard always lies, and one always tells the truth. This is absolute. So when I asks Guard A to tell me what Guard B would say, I know it will be a lie, no matter what. If Guard A were the liar, he would have to lie about what Guard B would have said. Since Guard B would have told the truth, Guard A would then have to tell the lie to me. However, if Guard B were the liar, he would obviously have lied. However, Guard A would then have to answer the question truthfully which would be the lie from Guard B. Hence, no matter which guard is the liar and which guard is the truth-teller, the answer that I get would have one and exactly one lie in the answer. Knowing this, I takes the other road.
Impressive logic, however you're not quite there yet. Nice answer though.

If I knew how to do spoilers I'd put the answer in one.

I'll give a hint - Think about what was said by both of them.

Ok they both said the same thing and one of them will say nothing but lie and other truth and you can only ask one question does that mean if you ask another question the lieing guard would answer it ?
Ooh you had it and kinda went past it.

Can somebody tell me how to do spoilers so I can put the answer in please?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found out. Behold!

The two guards both tell you that there is one truth-teller and one liar. If one lies and the other tells the truth, how can they both tell you the same thing? The only answer you can arrive at is that they are both liars, and you can't trust anything they say, therefore you just have to guess which is the correct door and not bother asking them the question in the first place.

Trick question I know but meh, it's a riddle.

One was already dead and the second was carrying him on his back before dying from exhaustion?

A'll be mean...

A man sit on top of a mountain able to answer any question in the entire world. People come from all over the world to challenge and seek his wisdom and yet no one can stump him.

One day a little boy comes up the mountain and asks the man, what is the one question you cannot answer?

G'luck answering that one since its an unsolvable paradox. If he answers the boys question then he has provided an answer but at the same time not given an answer.
i think that it can be answered with; "there is no question that i cannot answer."
He's asking what is the one question that he cannot answer. Saying there is no question isn't answering the question the boy asks.

If he answers his question in anyway, then he's provided an answer to the question.

Thus paradox.
Surely your paradox fails because you specified that he can only answer questions from earth, he could just answer the boy a question in an alien language that he doesnt know the answer to.

Thus allowing him to know the answer to every question on earth
And answer the boy correctly.

Also he could be on a different planet and mute and therefore able to answer ever question whenever there is noone on earth.

Also my riddle, a father and his son are on a motorcycle and crash. The father is killed and the son is taken to hospital and gets taken into surgery. The surgeon then exclaims 'Thats my son!'.

How?

The surgeon's his mother.

EDIT--I come in darkness, but fill the mind with light. I bring enlightenment to some, while gripping others in the hand of fear. With me it can be a journey of inexplicable joy and sorrow. What I will show you will often be unreachable. Journey with me and what you see may haunt you. Journey with me and you may never want to return home. Journey with me and you will never know when it will end. What am I?

Right.

My voice is tender, my waist is slender and I'm often invited to play. Yet wherever I go I must take my bow or else I have nothing to say.

good guess but no
They stabbed each other and the knives are just hidden by the fact that they fell atop one another?

Hm, both of them were riding a horse, which threw them off and trampled on them?

Ok, kind of reaching now.
