Screw guessing, i thought it through. First think of all the obvious ones like fish etc. Then the water one which actully makes sense but they arent at sea, so i thought about the conditions they would have lived in then thought rats but then realised it was likely head lice.
Thats what im being taught to do in problem solving atm.. althought that is maths based. with algorithms and stuff.

An easy one.
A director of a large company asks the security guard working the night shift to call him a cab, because he needs to take a red-eye flight to New York. The guard tells him not to board the plane, because he just had a dream that the director would have an accident. To be safe, the director decides to wait until the next morning. During the trip, he reads in the paper that the red-eye flight crashed. When he returns from his trip, he thanks the guard and gives him a bonus. Then he fires him. Why did he fire him?

And for the #1 riddle, Is the man a crash-test-dummy?

Riddle on logic & reasoning -
You have two glasses of water on a table in front of you - one will bring you everlasting life, the other is a lethal poison.
There are two barmen behind the table - of which you are allowed to ask either of them 1 question to help you chose the right glass. However, while one of them will always tell the truth; the other is an automatic liar (you don't get to tell which is which).
What question can you ask to work out which is the correct glass to drink from?
