You want to know which way to go : -left- or -right-
There are two men standing near you, ... one ALLWAYS lies, the other
ALLWAYS tells the truth. You dont know who does what.

So .... how do you know which way to go, whom do you ask what ??
You may only ask one question ...

Ask one what the other would do, and do the opposite.

-If you ask the liar, he will have to say what the true man would say .. the truth. But since he allways lies, he will tell you the wrong way.
-If you ask the true man, he'll truthfully say what the mying man would... a lie.

So if you do the opposite, all will work out [img]smile.gif[/img]
