Brain Teasers
Cave Adventure
You are an adventurer and come across two caves: one on the left and one on the right. One of the caves has treasures; the other, most certain doom. You see an imp passing by and ask which cave has the treasure. The imp said, "Two caves you came across. Many have failed to pick the right one. It contains treasure of many kinds. What is left, to tell, is the other cave, with terror and death lurking around." Which one should you pick?

it was easy...but cute....nice teaser!
this is an awesome teaser. That is soooooo cool how you did that. I mean, I know it's easy, but it's still really cool.
Nice! Simple and easy only since

Since when can you rely on an imp to tell the truth?
Have we missed important considerations? Where is the imp? If the caves are east and west of a north-south path on which we pass, his left is my right. What if I am not a treasure seeker? A cliff/base/bungey diving nutcase adventurer might choose hazard.
how can you trust an imp? Imps are mischievious.
lol
never trust an imp, so this is what i would do:
toss the imp into the cave with the treasure, and if he dosnt come out, thast the one with DOOOM, if he does, kill him, and go thoguht t cave he went trough.
then again, we could kill him, and leave!
if ud explain how wed know why the imp ant lieing, then the answer would make sence

at first i thought terror and death were animals lurking around in there. Like, I don't know, dogs or something but then i read it again and i got it
GREAT TEASER!
GREAT TEASER!
I would do what Senther says, except if the imp came out, I would throw him into the other cave.
i answered that becoz of "Many have failed to pick the right one"
I said right because it said, many people have failed to pick the RIGHT one.
Could a teaser get any more simpler? That was way too easy and no fun factor at all.
I hope EVERYONE takes careful note of this teaser, the text, the logic, the "tricks" and ... especially the COMMENTS triggered by all that.
Too many go "ho-hum" if they think there is nothing to discuss or little of significance to vote on.
That's why Braingle is limping, folks ...

What I meant to say was ...
IF you solve the rebus, be sure to report it so in these comments, but don't give the answer.
Let it "percolate" for a couple days.

My comments (here) ARE totally relevant to this teaser (# 16718, here).
Thank you.
I feel that it's YOUR comment on "where I go" to be the one less relevant.
Solve the Rebus, "EILN PU" and you'll find out.

a bit too easy
Grade school quality teaser.
BBO2- I have tried to back off on commenting about you, but you are way overboard on your comments. Don't you realize people are getting sick of you. You have become pathetic!! You are the one chasing people away. Maybe you should go on vacation and get a life.

Where was the challenge in that? Cant believe it was made TOTD. Given that is is 10 years old and received only 29 comments during that time suggests it was not well received.
Maybe instead of commenting on teasers, you should be trying to encourage people to write them so we an get some new content on here.

Fun and easy. I did not even need the hint. Yay!
To Bunny: I completely agree with the people telling you to cut back on your comments. You are as annoying as an irritating fly that just won't go away. Please cut down on your comments.
OK ... OK ....
Let's not get too many split knickers here over the emotional comments.
How about some facts ??
Fact #01 - I make ONE comment and it generates SEVEN others. Good, bad, indifferent .... SEVEN ..... . not too bad, huh?
Fact #02 - Many, many Braingle visitors will "cruise" looking for the teasers with the MOST comments to visit. Then they visit - usually as "ghosts" ; just looking, not commenting or voting. SOOOOO ... the FACT is, more comments (regardless of content) = more visitors.
Fact #03 - There have been a LOT of recent contributions (HABS take note) of Brainglers that have had NO ...
NO ... NONE, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH .....
comments. And these were credible, creative, interesting, varied teasers.
Now .... YOU tell me what the problem is !!!!!!!!
Fact #04 - I'm not here to win a popularity contest.
(what was your first clue???)
Just to get you to think.

Number of comments really means nothing as it is the same few people commenting on every teaser.
Like I said before, whether or not someone comments they are still visiting the site.
I have in the past gone days without commenting on any teaser or quiz.
HOWEVER, that does not take away from the fact that I am a PAID member of the site and am therefore contributing to its existence.
I have said it before, and will say it again the site needs new material, not the same people commenting on the same old teasers year after year.
This teaser is 10 years old.

Never trust an imp; toss him into the left cave, just to be sure!

You won't read this, markw, but I thought for sure I'd beat you today!
As for the teaser, I kind of liked it, even though it was ridiculously easy. I'm getting soft in my old age.
