A riddle that is driving me CRAZY!?!
Question: A riddle that is driving me CRAZY!!?
ok, so you go to an island, where two tribes live!. one always tells the truth and one always lies!. so you come to a fork in the rode!. one leads to a nice peaceful beach, and the other to a horrible death!. a guy is standing there and you dont know which tribe he is from!. you want to go to the beach, and are allowed to ask him only one question!. what do you ask him!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
I would ask the following: What would a man from the opposite tribe say if I asked which path led to the beach!?
Path #1=Beach
Path #2= Horrible Death
If it was a man from the truthful tribe, he would say Path #2 because he would know that the liar tribe wouldn't tell the truth!. If it was a man from the liar tribe, he would say Path #2 as well because he wouldn't tell the truth!. Then, without knowing what tribe the man is from, you would automatically know to follow Path #1 (to the beach)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Personally, I wouldn't risk it!.!.!.
There are multiple things you could say, assuming the guy is from one of the tribes and knows which path is which!.
"If I asked someone from your tribe, which way would they say the beach is!?"
The truth teller would point you towards the beach!.
Someone from the lying tribe would point you towards the death, but since this guy would have to lie about that, he would point you towards the beach!.
How annoying would it be to live in a tribe where everyone lied compulsively!?
"We're having horrible weather today!."
"I don't know, what an ugly sky!."Www@Enter-QA@Com

Okay! You ask the guy standing at the fork in the road "which road leads to a horrible death!?"
Now if he is from the tribe that lies all the time!.!.!.he will point you to the road that leads to the nice peaceful beach!. Because he's lying!.
Now if he is from the tribe that tells the truth all the time!.!.!.he will point you to the road that leads to the nice peaceful beach!. Because he's telling the truth!.
Either way, you'll end up on the road to the nice peaceful beach!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You ask him "Which way would the other tribe say"!. Where ever he points you choose the opposite route!. Here are the sceanrios!.
If you meet the one that lies and ask the question, he will lie and point to the deadly route!. So you take the other route!.
If you meet the truthful one he will tell the truth and point to the deadly route because that what the lying tribe would have picked!. So you pick the other route!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
