Time for another chess riddle:
You are the player with the white pieces. How do you get a checkmate in 3 of your moves?
Spoiler: An attempt
Move 1
Bb5xd7
Black Response 1a
Nf6xd7
Move 2a
Qb3-b8 Check!
Black Response 2a
Nd7xb8
Move 3a
Rd1-d8 Checkmate!
Black Response 1b
Qe6xd7
Move 2b
There's no way to guarantee mate by the third move if black takes the bishop with its queen. I guess my first move was wrong...
Spoiler:
You are correct, that's the answer I was looking for and yeah, there is no way to checkmate by the third move unless the black knight takes the white bishop. This easy riddle comes from a good chess game: Paul Morphy vs Duke Karl / Count Isouard
Your turn.

"True genius resides in the capacity for evaluation of uncertain, hazardous, and conflicting information."
Wow finally another one
And look forward to Williams and Borner.
I will put it here when I solved a riddle this upcomming weekend
It's designed to be solved in a week for average people. People who are fast may figure it out earlier.
you,yes you, want to go to a place named "Truther's Place" where all of the people there always tells the truth.
After you've travelled for a long long time you finally end up between a fork in a road.
One fork goes to the Truther's Place and the other one to the "Liars' Place" where all the people always tells lies.
You don't know which road goes which and you are afraid because you cannot go to Truther's Place if you went to Liars' Place.
So you need to make sure that the road you choose goes to the Truther's Place.
Luckily' between them roads was a person, whom you don't know if he came from the Truther's Place or Liars' Place
, as you aproach him he immedeatly(is this the right spelling?) declared that you can only ask one question to him.
You need to think of a question to ask him so that you could go to Truther's Place
What question would that be?

Spoiler:
The question would be something like: which road leads to Your home?
And If I'm not mistaken something like this was around 20 pages ago.
Yeah I just couldn't resist
And the riddle you mean is nearly the same setup but with two people at the crossroad one that tells the truth and the other that tells the lie
Actually there was a similar riddle with three people already
Well, it's natural that with OVER 100 PAGES, YEAH! it's difficult to remember all the riddles.
