one more riddle:
the day you separate from this world you coming to a cross road.
this cross road is splitting in to two ways.
one way is leeding to heaven & the another leeding to hell.
in this cross road there is two spirits.
one is the Kipper of heaven & the other is the Kipper of hell.
you have only one question that you can ask one of those two keepers in order to choose which way to go.
the Kipper of heaven will tell only true to your question & the Kipper of hell will tell you only lie to your question.

what question will you ask...  confused1

"If I were to ask you which road leads to Heaven, what would you tell me?" 

also you need to add you do not know which Kipper is which.

The answer would help you decide which kipper is which, but not which road to take.

Whichever kipper I asked my question of, i would receive an answer. The kipper of heaven would tell me correctly the road I had just come on, whilst   the kipper of hell would tell me the incorrect road because he lies.  So I would know which kipper was which.

I agreed, you would know which kipper is which, but not which road to take.  The riddle says:

"you have only one question that you can ask one of those two keepers in order to choose which way to go."

How does knowing which kipper is which help you choose which way to go?

You have 10 bags .
 
In each bag you have 100 coins.

Each bag contain coins Weighs 10 gram each except 1 bag of fake coins that Weighs 9 gram each.

You have only 1 time you can put coins or bags on the Weight to  Determine which bag contain the fake coins.

How would you do that
?   :o

Take 1 coin from bag 1, 2 from bag 2, 3 from bag 3 up to bag 10 when you take 10 coins

You now have 55 coins which would if they were all real weigh 550grams.  (55 x 10grams)

However as 1 bag contains only 9 gram coins, the reduction in total weight will point to the bag containing fake coins.

If for example the total weight was 542grams, there would be 8 fake coins, at 9 grams each and these would have come from bag number 8
