Here's a classic one. I hope you guys know the answer to this one.
You are a traveler, traveling down a road, simply trying to get from point A to point B. Eventually, you come to a fork in the road, and you don't know which way to go. You do know; however, that one of these roads will lead you to your destination, the other to certain death. You notice that there are two villages near by as well. You remember that one of these villages has people that will always tell the truth, and in the other everyone lies, but you don't know which is which. And asking them will do you no good, after all. The truthful one will tell you they are the truthful ones (since they always tell the truth), but the lying ones will say that they are truthful too (since they would lie about themselves being liars.).
What can you say to either tribe that will get them to tell you which is the correct way to go?
