Tanmay is in a cave. He stops to find two tunnels.
There is a guard before each tunnel.
Tanmay knows two things:
1. One tunnel leads to the fields of punishment and the other fields of rewards
2. One guard always lies and the other always tells the truth.
Tanmay can only ask one yes or no question to either one of the guards.

A very rich young man comes to Sher Khan's house and says he wishes to marry one of his daughters.

General Custer is surrounded by Indians and he's the only cowboy left.

He finds an old lamp in front of him and rubs it. Out pops a genie. The genie grants Custer one wish, with a catch. He says, "Whatever you wish for, each Indian will get two of the same thing."
Custer ponders a while and thinks:"If I get a bow and arrow they get two. If I get a rifle they get two!" He then rubs the bottle again and out pops the genie. "Well," the genie asks "have you made up your mind?"

What did Custer ask for to help him get away?
