Riddles! Does anyone

Riddles! Does anyone have some good ones? I'm on this other site where they were telling riddles, and so I decided that we could do it on here too! Here's one:

Alice and Emily are twin sisters, but Alice is thirteen and Emily is three. How can this be?

If you need a hint, ask me because I have one!

Because there's a grandmother, a mother, and a grandchild/daughter. So the mother in the middle is both a mother and a daughter!

One mother is a grandmother!

So her daughter is another mom to a younger girl!

I've got a really really old one that probably everyone knows but I love it anyway:

As I was going to St. Ives

I met a man with seven wives

Each wife had seven sacks

Each sack had seven cats

Each cat had seven kittens

How many were going to St. Ives?

OOOH! I love this one, TNO! Should I say the answer and ruin it for everyone else? I have a riddle, too.

What has six faces 12 hands and 12 feet? Six people!!

Okay now, what has six faces?

Hardy har, six people. :) Okay, here are some:

What has a head, a tail, but no body?
If you have only one match, and there is a lantern, a candle, and a oil lamp, which would you light first?
What was the highest mountain before Everest was discovered?
-And the best one:
You are walking down a road.  You want to get to a place called Truthsville, where everyone ALWAYS tells the truth, creepily enough.  You know you are almost there.  Out of the blue, in front of you, there is a fork in the road.  You know one road leads to Truthville, and one to Liesville.  (No explanation needed.  Okay, okay . . . they ALWAYS lie.)  You don't know which road leads to Liesville, and which one to Truthsville.  There is a girl standing there.  You want to ask directions, but you don't know if the girl is from Liesville or Truthsville.  Is there one question you can ask her to be sure she will point you to Truthsville?
-Sorry if that makes no sense.  I'll be happy to provide a clue.  But now I must dash.  *dashes*

I want to, but really, I have no clue.  I'm bad at figuring these out.  :D

Yup!  You got it! :) You're good!  A couldn't figure that one out until I read the answer. :)

I know the first two, BellaTrix!!! For the head/tail one: a coin! And for the lantern one, you would light the match first :):):)

sorry could I have a clue?  the answer is very elusive.  I keep thinking I have it and then I reason and it doesn't make sense any more.
