A yes or no riddle from October 3, 2026. Try to work it out before you open the hints.
A guy passing through a small town needs a haircut. There are only two barbers. One shop is spotless and the barber has a perfect haircut. The other shop is a mess and that barber's hair looks awful. He goes to the messy one.
Why pick the messy one?
Can a barber cut his own hair?
There are only two of them in town. So who does each one's hair?
They cut each other's hair.
Barbers can't cut their own hair, so these two cut each other's. That means the messy barber gave the neat one his perfect haircut, and the neat one is to blame for the bad one. The messy barber is the better barber.
