A man came upon a crossroads, and there standing in the breach was an imp holding two stones. One was white, and one was black. This were the only differences between them, for they were both identical in shape, size and inscription. Both of them read:
1 mile to hangman's tree
1 mile to the old church
1 mile to the other milestone
The imp, being a devilish creature, told the man that he would not let him leave these woods until he could help him solve the dilemma. He told the man that these milestones were bewitched and that they must be placed to ensure that the dead from the hangman's tree and old church would not rise and devour his name. Their placement was such that they were required to both be completely true.
The man agreed and at once ran down to the path to the hangman's tree. The path was exactly one straight mile between them. In turning back, he found that he could take the long route back, which was exactly twice as long as the first route, and went passed the old church halfway through.
Yet, it was at the church that he espied the exact tool which would free him from the imp. He picked this implement up and ran back to the imp, telling him he could stick it where the sun don't shine.
What was the object that he picked up?
