Anybody want to try some riddles?

Ok, so since this section is riddled with jokes and almost no riddles, i decided to put a few on here.

1. this one requires a little imagination.and some knowledge of Roman mathematics. but it's not that hard) You have a blank sheet of regular printing paper. On it are ten toothpicks in the formation of: IX=X+I, a Roman equation that doesn't make sense, right?so how can you correct it, without moving any of the toothpicks?Can you?

2. For this one, you'll definitely need a pen and piece of paper. write down a 4 digit number, and all the digits have to be different, ok? no 2012. but 2014 is good. Then, reverse your number. You know have 2 #'s on the paper. subtract the smaller from the larger. then circle the answer to the subtraction(aka the difference). now add up each individual digit of the difference. So if you got 1234 after the subtraction, you would do 1+2+3+4=10. REMEMBER THAT #!! If you do this one, and leave your state or country, I can guess all of your #'s correctly! 25m

Update:

ok, that 25 minutes means i'll have the answers up in 25 min. whoever is closest gets best answer! and here's another riddle:

You are hopelessly lost in a forest, stumbling throught the trees and probably getting poison ivy. Finally you come onto a road. The road goes right and it goes left, but you don't know which way to go. You recognize a guy who's just standing there. He is a twin, and one twin always tells the truth. One twin always lies. And they are completely identical in appearance. You can only ask 1 question. Not two, not three, not one and a half.What 1 question can you ask to get you home quickly? Can you?

good luck to everybody who tries. some of you might already know the answers, i didn't make any up!!

Update 2:

P.S. Imeant you now have 2 #s, not you know have 2 #'s. sorry!

Update 3:

Good job to both of you! The paper is meant to be turned upside down, but I guess you could look at it upside down too. For the second one, you were supposed to remmeber the # and then i would miraculously know it was 18--it always is. and for the third one, yes you ask 'which way would your brother tell me to go' but then you have to go the other way to get home. although i guess i did just ask for the question.

Update 4:

Jazzy, you get Best Answer in 3 days; i don't think i can pick it right now.

    1. turn your head so it says I+X=XI

    2. 18.

    i did 4031-1304= 2727

    and 2+7+2+7 =18

    3. you ask one twin what the OTHER would say is the path that leads home

    1. Turn the paper around

    2. answer is 18

    3. If you reconize the guy then you must already know whether he lies or tells the truth. So the question would be "What is the fastest way home?"
