You are an adventurer in War of Warcraft. You come
across two closed treasure chests. One chest is full
of gold and treasure, while the other chest is full of
coal. If you open one chest, the other will disappear.
There are two goblins, one guarding each chest. One
goblin always tells the truth, and the other goblin
always lies. You can only ask one question to one of
the goblins before choosing a chest to open.
What one question can you ask one of the goblins to
find out which chest is full of gold?

I believe the answer is to ask one goblin how the other goblin will answer if you asked the other goblin if the gold is in his chest. If the answer is yes, then the gold is in your chest.

First, this is the most asked riddle on here (maybe not set in World of Warcraft, however).
Second, this should not be in the math section, but in the riddle section.
Third, you ask 1 what the other would say if you asked him which chest holds the gold. Then pick the other chest.
