Answers:
This drove me mad too and the answer is confusing but makes sense!. Let me try to explain it!.
Okay consider for a minute that the right path' was the correct way!. You can ask any of them this question and by taking the opposite direction will lead you to your friends house!.
"If i was to ask your friend which way is to the house, what would he say"
So if you had asked the liar, he knows his friend would tell you the truth and say right, he is the liar so he would tell you he would say left!. (you take the opposite answer)!.
If you had asked the guy who tells the truth, he knows the liar would say left, he tells you left because that's the truth what the liar would say!. (You take the opposite answer)
So you dont know which was the liar, but by asking that question to any of them and taking the opposite you would always be right!. Enjoy your friends house!.!.!.!.!!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Generally the trick is to ask either one how the other would answer!. Say you're at a crossroad and want to know whether to go left or right to get to Newburg, and the right answer is left!. Ask either how the other would answer the question, "Which way to my friends house!?" The truth-teller will truthfully say right, since that's what the liar will say!. The liar will also say right, because that's not what the truth-teller would say!. So either way, you know you're getting the wrong info!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If he is your friend you should already know which road leads to his house!.
Is there really an answer to this!?!?

Ok, this is what I found!.!.!.
"There are two small towns, one of which is inhabited by people who always lie, and the other by people who always tell the truth!. The first is called Liars' Paradise and the second Trueville!. A man, wanting to visit Trueville, comes to a crossroad and to his amazement sees two roadsigns, pointing in opposite directions but both saying "To Trueville"!. Considering the matter, he decides that this is quite logical: the correct sign has been put up by the authorities of Trueville, and the other by the town council of Liar's Paradise!. The latter should of course say "Liar's Paradise," but since they are liars they have put up a sign that also tells a lie!. But our traveller is still at a loss because he doesn't know which is the right way to Trueville!. Luckily he sees a man sitting by the roadside, who must definitely be from one of the two towns, only our traveller doesn't know which one!. Now the problem is: By what single simple question can he find out for sure which is the right road!?"

a) ONE ANSWER:The traveler could ask is, "Which road leads to your town!?" If the man on the roadside is from Trueville, he'll point to the correct road, as that's the truth!. If the man on the roadside is from Liar's Paradise, he'll still point to the correct road to Trueville, as that's a lie!. OR
b)"If I ask someone from the other town which road is the right one, what will he say!?" Then you take the *negative* of that answer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

because when you ask "are you lying" and he says "yes, I'm lying" then he'd be telling the truth - which he cannot do!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Look up his phone number in a phone book,and make your friend come give you a ride!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I would turn around and head back home!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
