You need info from 2 brothers, 1always lies 1 always tells the truth. You can on!


Question: Your driving down the road and come to a T junction in the road. There is nothing around, no signs, no landmarks, cant see the stars, moon or sun. All you have is a house.

The house has 2 brothers. 1 always tells the truth, 1 always tells lies. You know this, but you dont know which is which... They will only talk to you to answer your question...which is:

You need directions to the local town and need to know if to turn right or left.

The brothers only allow you to ask ONE question. This question can only be asked to ONE brother. You cant ask more than one question and you cant ask both brothers.

What is the one question you would ask to find out if you need to turn left or right to get to the village.

ask either of the brothers, if i asked your brother which way to the town what way would he say? when the brother answers this question go the opposite way because if he was the truth brother he would know that lying brother would send you the wrong way and the truth brother would point that way,

if you asked the lying brother the same question then he would know that his truth borther would send you the right way and he would end up telling you tghe correct way, voilá

may be a tad confusing =S

there is one more answer since you are going towards the left right intersection you could ask i just came from (town you are going to) and ask how to get to the town you came from the liar would answer straight and the truth teller would answer with a left or right Report It
