Summary
Tribal King knows no mercy. Do you have what it takes to save your life and collect all the treasures?
The Setup
Brian sets the stage for a series of questions he hopes will stump the guests.
Challenge 1
The first riddle goes as such:
You are sailing in a ship which gets stranded in a storm, and you land on a small island about one hundred square kilometers of area. The island has a tribal population and some cannibals. Tribal King captures you and issues the following order.
"You must speak one sentence. If the sentence is true, then you will be thrown to the cannibals for consumption. If your sentence is false, you will then be thrown to their pet dogs for their consumption. What sentence saves your life?"
Challenge 2
The second riddle goes as such:
After a few years, you have come to know that there is a treasure chest buried somewhere on the island. You've already made friends with the tribals, so you're not captured, but while you're finding your way to the buried treasure you come across a fork in the road. Two tribals guard the way forward. One way goes to the buried treasure, the other to the cannibal's colony.
You already know that the tribals have two types: some always speak the truth, some always speak lies. The two tribals are one of each type. They tell you to ask just one question, they will both answer your question. What question do you ask to figure out the correct way?
Challenge 3
The third and final riddle goes as such:
Again, after a few years you come to know that there's an even bigger treasure on the same island. That treasure is on an ancient tower a thousand meters high. You again come across a fork in the road, one way leads straight to the tower, and the other way leads straight to the cannibal's colony. This time the tribals are standing near the fork, and the tribals are random. Sometimes they speak the truth, and sometimes they lie. You're allowed to ask as many questions as you want.
How do you find the correct way?

Fun Facts
- Brian originally reversed the "tribals" and the "cannibals" in the third riddle. It was fixed in post, because otherwise it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.
