SoBeLiz Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 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, coloring 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 re-fuses. The one who agreed is immediately sent on his way, and the one who re-fused is correctly identified as the rightful heir. Can you figure out why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmukiki Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 They requested a blood test... ...the real heir is a hemophiliac...if they try to get blood FROM him then they won't be able to stop the bleeding...hence the real heir would die.
