I've got your midweek riddle to get those brain gears turning. Are you ready for this one? Here it goes:

One day an alchemist brought a king a bottle holding a strange liquid. The alchemist said, ‘This liquid I discovered will dissolve anything it touches.’ How did the king know that he was lying?

Are we making these too easy or too hard? If you think you know the answer post it in the comments below.
