run south...im assuming that the cliff is facing north since the riddle never said which way you were facing.

ok one more (this was stolen out of a movie called ..bah forget, some pool movie, ill find it later, and ill change it into riddle form)

so ur at a bar, and ur drunk friend just go you in a rediculous wager...there are 2 pints and 2 shot glasses on the table, you have to finish your 2 pints, before the other guy can finish his two shots. Being the cocky person that he is, you opponent will let you finish ur first beer before e starts (yippe )..and also to be fair, no one can touch the other persons glass in any way, and you can only use 1 hand of your own...so are your out 200$? or can you somehow win...

edit: the movie is called poolhall junkies, not a bad pool movie, i liked it
