Todays puzzle 03-11-2011

 

You’re travelling to some village. At some point there is a fork in the road. You could go two ways but only one of them leads to the village. Lucky for you there are two men standing next to the fork. But unfortunately one of them always lies and one always speaks the truth and you do not know who is who. Since the men do not really like to help you, you are allowed to ask one of them only one question. Which question should you ask?

i will ask one of them am i black or white.

1)if he tell correct answer then i think he is person who tells truth

and then i ask another person the route and i go to the opposite way what he told to me because he is lier

2)if he tell wrong then he is wrong person and then i ask the another person and i go the way what he told because he tell only the truth.

I will ask one of the men, "if I would ask the man standing next to you: which is the road to the village?, what would he answer?"
If I ask this to the liar, he will point me in the wrong way.
If I ask this to the one who speaks the truth, he will also point me in the wrong way.

So after asking the question, I will take the other way. This will bring me in the village.
