ok so you’re in a jungle, and you walking along a path that comes to a fork.

Down the left path, there is a tribe whose people can only tell the truth, and down the right path, there is a tribe whose people can only lie.

As you approach the fork, you see a tribesman standing there.

Not knowing which tribe the man is from, what question can you ask him, so that you know which tribe is down which path?

i don’t even know the answer to this right now, i won’t find out until tomorrow. but it’s making me think. so i thought i’d post it.

wait wait wait… i just got it haha.

if the man is a liar and you ask him what the other tribe will say, he’ll say the right. if he’s the honest one, same question, he’ll say what the liar would say, and say the right again. so u just have to go the opposite way no matter what.

now i can sleep.
