Brain Teaser
Ok ... So this one is slighlty reminicent of labyrinth, but can you get it right?
You are traveling through a Forrest inhabited by 2 tribes; the Truth Tellers and the Liars.
The Truth Tellers always tell the truth and provide a safe haven for travelers during the night while the liars (who are fierce cannibals) never tell the truth and like nothing better than chowing down on lost travelers.
It's getting late and you come to a fork in the road; one path leads to the truth tellers village and the other leads to the liars village.
There are no signs to point you in the right direction, but there is a man from one of the villages who you could ask for directions. The only problem is you don't know if he is a truth teller or a liar.
You can only ask him one question. What question do you ask to find out which path leads to the truth tellers village?

I think the answer is: If I asked you if this fork in the road went to the truth tellers' village, would you say yes? If he says yes, take that path; if he says no, take the other? I think I heard this before. Is that right? Are there prizes?
The most simple answer is
"Wich path leads to your village?"
The Liar will lie and send you to the safe one
The truth teller will tell you the truth, and send you to the safe one
Well, that seems too easy. I'll have to keep that in mind.
