| The Riddler Reference Number: 060111 | The king dies and two men, the true heir and an impostor, both claim to be his long-lost son. Both fit the description of the rightful heir: about the right age, height, colouring and general appearance. Finally, one of the elders proposes a test to identify the true heir. One man agrees to the test while the other flatly refuses. The one who agreed is immediately sent on his way, and the one who refused is correctly identified as the rightful heir.

The test was a blood test. The elder remembered that the true prince was a haemophiliac. |  | Congratulations Karsan in Year 9 for being the first person to email the correct answer. |
