    there's been a couple of challenges and stuff today so here's mine:

    You are a traveller who wants to get to Truth Village, where people always tell the truth, and avoid the Liars Village, where...guess what...the people always lie. You come to a fork in the road, where a man is stood. You do not know which village he comes from and you may only ask him one question to get to the truth village.

    What is the question?

    If I were to ask him which road to take, what would his reply be?

    Or was that Alice In Wonderland?!

    Thats not the answer to the puzzle

    I don't know what the man would say though but you'd probably get a 50/50 chance of finding right village. (lol)

    Surely you point to one road and ask him if he lives down there. If he answers yes, then its the road to the truth village. If he answers no, its the road to the liars village.

    Seems right to me.

    "If I asked you which road leads to Truth Village, which one would you choose?"

    Well done Joycey and Shy Talk

    My mate sent it me via. email and the answer was "can you point me to your village?" And your questions would achieve the same effect. (Y)
