Ok, I've no idea where you guys get these questions from; so I've relied on a riddle website to give me these TWO!:
first to complete whichever one is correclty answered last, wins:
I think the second one is just a (bad) re-hash of an old egyptian-themed riddle, but as I'm at work and reasonably busy they will have to do!

The above is true; but how is this possible?A voice said to you "Coconuts, $5 a dozen" With your lightning quick arithmatic you calculated that if you sold those same coconuts to the coconut air assault team for the going rate of $3 per dozen that in no time at all you would be a millionare. When I met you 15 seconds ago you told me the words you've just read.
How do you know which room to enter?"Behind one door is God realization. Behind the other door is a room painted entirely green. The only things in that room are a man and a ladder, both of which are painted entirely green. The man has been hired by the coalition of Gangsta Rappers to hurl a non-stop barrage of insults at anyone who enters the room. " (end sign 1)
The second sign sits between the two computers (also the two doors) and reads as follows:
"One of these computers is programmed to lie to you regardless of how friendly you are to the user interface, the other computer is programmed to tell the truth, regardless of your emotional state."

Ok, perhaps if the question was worded (slightly) differently it may help:

Right after twisting my brain no end and looking at previous answers, i'll have a go.
I can only assume that if he is buying them for $5 and selling for $3, he is running a big loss there. He must have well over a million dollars (billion or something) and losing $2 a coconut he will eventually drop down into the millionaire category. Is that sort of right (sorry for long windedness!)
