Title: The Haircut
Post by daemonturk on Feb 22^nd, 2009, 11:43pm

Here's another fast, fun riddle, and might be on the website already... Oh well, I reworded it to avoid googling.

A tourist is staying in a foreign town for a couple of days, he is in desperate need of a haircut. He asks around the small town to find out that there is only one Barbershop in the town.
Upon entering the Barbershop, he sees only two barbers and no mirrors. They say: 'We are the only two barbers in this town, everyone gets a haircut from us'
You can only receive a haircut from one barber.
Here are the tourist's observations:
Barber A: He has a nice, tidy hair-style. His fingers looks smooth and skilful.
Barber B: He has extremely messy hair, awfully cut and butchered. His fingers are rough, but sturdy-looking.

Which barber do you choose? Or do you choose none at all?

[hide]One might assume the barbers don't cut their own hair but each other's.

I willing to bet you can still google it, since the operative words are "barber", "haircut" and "riddle".[/hide]

It's the tourist who needs a haircut.

What for you choose a hairdresser is up to you. ;D

[hide]You would choose the messy-haired barber because the other barber cut his hair.[/hide]

[hide]Actually, neither of them can cut hair, Barber A had his hair cut out of town. [/hide]

:P

If the town is in Canada somewhere, just wear a toque! You won't need a haircut! ;D

Sorry, typo! Should have been "tuque"... It's a winter hat of sorts.
