Ask either one: "If I were to ask the other guy which path led to the City of Truth, which path would he tell me?" Then take the path that is not stated.

Couple of mistakes though; Tiger isn't in the Zodiak, lion is, but I do agree that tigers are one of the most revered animals in Asian culture. And I think cartoonist would have been a more fair discription of the person who creates Tony, as he isn't meant to exagerate a tigers appearance. Also, line 4 says 'A caricaturist makes it say the same', I guess the same meaning line 3's 'revel in its name', but Tony isn't talking about himself or tigers when he said they're great, he is talking about the cereal. Anyway, I still think if you let me get away with the deer/dear play on words a cartoon of a deer saying 'yes, dear' would have fit quite nicely! LOL
1) As Noct pointed out, the tiger is indeed part of the Zodiac (Chinese). This was not even part of the riddle though, it was just one example of the innumerable instances where tigers are celebrated.
2)Tony the Tiger is a caricature of a tiger. If you think that the artist did not mean to exaggerate the animal's appearance, then take another look at the box and compare it to a photo of a tiger.
3)Yes, 'say the same' refers to the previous line. He does not need to be talking about himself when comparing what he says with what others say. If I say 'they're great' referring to oranges and you say 'they're great' referring to apples, we have said the same thing even though the object of our 'revelry' is completely different.

Yep, it sounds good, but I knew this one was a little too easy. Nice job though, that was fast.

As if I'd expect my puzzles to stand up to a Puzzle Grandmaster. Well done.

I've seen a riddle similar to this one. the awnser is nothing. if you come into nothing, you can die (or go on welfare). if you wait for nothing, then you keep going and live one. Tell me if i'm wrong.
I admit that this riddle will stretch a little literally speaking, alliteration pardoned I'm sure. But no, 'nothing' is stretching these lines too far. Grammatically joking aside, good try, but another word does better apply.

In terms of timepieces, a sundial has the least moving parts. What timepiece has the most moving parts?

It looks like everything that could possibly be it has been named, except the answer of course I never expected this one to last more than a day, actually. Here's what I had in mind:
tiger
Found on the northern snow and on the southern plain
Tigers span all over Asia, from the Siberian snow down to the Indian plains
Even though many have bested this game
They are still around despite near extinction from hunting. All tiger species are considered endangered.
Millions still revel in its name
One of the most important animals in many Asian cultures, highly symbolic, 1 of the zodiac signs, etc...
A caricaturist makes it say the same
to take great pleasure and delight - to revel. Who eats Frosted Flakes? Not me, but Tony sure does. And what does he say?

I think this one's been hangin' around long enough. Considering the hints I provided about programming, the answer is...
2,2,2 (thirteen, fourteen, fifteen)
The number of syllables in each number starting with zero. When programming you almost always start with 0, not 1. I figured starting with 1 would be too easy.

It's Abbas.

Though I don't know who this can be yet I can discern the point (hopefully). This person was born on April Fool's Day, but he/she is so highly regarded that their followers cannot bear to celebrate their birthday on such an occasion. Also, the person is clearly English.

OK, in this hint is the next digit in the sequence, if you use this hint, then provide the next 3 digits.

I was just thinking that, but I cna't see why a caricaturist would draw it saying it's own name?
Well you're half right about being wrong. It's not turkey, but nothing is ever said about a caricaturist making it say 'its own name'. That's a jump from the OP.

What is the relationship between these two strings of numbers?
1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 7, 2, 3, 5, 1 and 12, 6, 4, 3, 12, 2, 12, 3, 4, 6, 1
Close, but not quite I'm sure:
Taking the first set as numerators and the second set as denominators: we have
1/12
5/12, and 7/12 =1
1/6, 5/6 =1
1/4, 3/4 =1
1/3, 2/3 =1
1/2
1/1 =1
I don't get the extraneous 1/12 and 1/2 though

Why didn't we see this before? It's deer (or dear, for part 3).
Sorry, no. I like you're answer, but it doesn't make sense with the fourth line. Also, for the third line you are using a completely different word (though they sound the same). The answer does not involve any grammatical tricks, it is just 1 word.

Found on the northern snow and on the southern plain - Horses are found in both places
Even though many have bested this game - Horse is a game played with a basketball
Millions still revel in its name - People get a "horse" throat?
A caricaturist makes it say the same - The type of caricature that the shape of the horse is made by using the letters (can't remember the name of it)
To have 'bested' or 'beaten' the game of H-O-R-S-E is a bit awkward to say. You can beat someone else, but can you beat the game itself? It's like saying you bested chess, but you really bested your opponent.
Also, the word revel is a positive word, meaning to take great pleasure or delight in, or to celebrate. From my experience, a "horse" throat is nothing in which to revel.

Is it?

1,4,1
Not 1,4,1. Please include a brief explanation as to how you got your answer(s) because there's always the possibility of 3 digits fitting this pattern that I had not intended.

the bum cant even put them together to make a cigar
Sure he can. He takes the tobacco that has not been smoked from each cigar butt and rolls it all together inside 1 piece of paper (newspaper I guess...) The type of paper really isn't the point anyway.

That's fine with me. I was never sure what kind of a grace period to give unsolved riddles anyway. Silly puddy is close, but Abbas is closer (for those of you who are not LIS, disregard everything after the first 2 sentences of this post)
