He asks one of the men what the other man would say if he asked him which path to take. If the man he's speaking to is the one that lies, he'll lie about what the other man would say. If the man he's speaking to is the one that tells the truth, he'll say what the other man will say, though it'll be a lie.
Either way, the man should go the opposite way to wherever the man he speaks to says the other man will point him.
Hope that was understandable. :P

There are three men. One is poor and has some wheat in his hand. The other is rich with fancy clothing. And the third one is rich, but he appears to have dirty clothing, no hat.
Which is the successful pirate?

I think Jack meant that whoever answers the riddle correctly will post the next one. So, if I'm right, we should wait for confirmation from the riddle-giver to post the next riddle.
