ok i suck at these so whats the answer:

You’re driving along and you come to a fork in the road. You know one way will take you where you want to go but there are no signs indicating which route leads where.



Sat on a bench nearby, there are two old gents. One speaks only lies, the other speaks only the truth. They both know which is the right way but you don’t know which is the liar and which isn’t.



What one question can you ask either, whereby the answer you get will indicate which is the correct option to take?



No prizes, just kudos.

are you a liar?

you ask one 'if i ask the other guy, which direction will he pick?'

You ask each, which way would you mate say was the correct path.

The truthful guy will know his mate lies, so respond with the false path.
The lier would know his mate tells the truth but he lies with the false path.

You follow the path opposite to the response.

LOL

How does that work? You ask one guy and he says left and the other says right. You're still f***ed.

You ask "where da white womenz at"

"The truthful guy will know his mate lies, so respond with the false path.
The lier would know his mate tells the truth but he lies with the false path. "

Thats pretty straight forward?

the question is, how did you find out about these two old f***s? are they famous or something?

instead of some worrying about some dumb fork in the road, maybe you should kidnap them for ransom, or steal their wallets

or in jims case, drive right down the middle of the two forks, after driving over both old men

LOL,

Well as long as you dont pick them up, you know, the Rules of the Road... (jay silent bob movie :P)

As seen in Labyrinth (1986), directed by Jim Henson and starring David Bowie and a young Jennifer Connelly.

C'mon Rev, I thought you would have recognised this puzzle from that movie for sure. :)

it's a well old puzzle... it was also in an episode of dr who : pyramids of mars 1975 :D

I'd go gay for David Bowie

I'd go gay for David Bowie

QFT.

You should've got yourself one of those portable GPS thingo you noob.

How about you drive down either road and if you dont get where you want you can just backtrack? and when you come across the guy that lied on the way back elbow him in the f***?

demon wins this thread

Who can speak German :D

two coins add up to 30c and one is not a nickel. what are the coins?

Two guys smashed up your bike, one of them wasn't me.

That would be a 20c piece and a 10c piece.

I'd go gay for David Bowie

Sadly for you, I have the strangest feeling he'd not be interested... He goes home to this:

every day.

(If anyone remembers Michael Jackson's 'Remember the Time' filmclip, Iman is the queen).

The whole thing doesn't make sense. If you don't know which one lies and which one tells the truth then you can't trust either one. There's non of this bulls***, "Oh, I'll just listen to what the liar says because the truth guy will say the opposite."

Wrong nigga!

How does that work when you don't know which is which?

How does that work when you don't know which is which?

It works because Jim Henson says so.

No, really, it does work. If you ask them both what the other would tell you the answer is, then you should get the same answer...

Old Man A (who for this example is telling the truth) would say that Old Man B would tell you to go left (and thus is lying).
Old Man B would say that Old Man A would tell you to go left, because Old Man A would actually tell you to go right if you asked him that directly.

Works.

its a similar prinipal to the riddle

"u are captured by bandits and are allowed to say one thing but if u tell the truth then u are shot and if u tell a lie then u are hung"

the answer to that one is - "i will be hung"


so maybe work off that

The only time ive heard this since I saw it in the epic tail of david bowies love for a baby with power or something was the heaven/hell doors.

I think the ideawas that you were dead and on your way to the afterlife you come upon 2 doors. Identical gaurdians, one tells the truth other lies and one door is hell one door is heaven etc.

It makes perfect sense but rev is stupid from watching tv becuase it kills brain cells!

ok it may be just me but in the labrynth didn't she get the answer wrong? thats why she fell into the groping hands tunnel? so... how does that work?

hehe, groping hands tunnel, I wonder if that fetish has been explored somewhere on the internets

I'm pretty sure in labyrinth she doesn't do the opposite. You have to ask "what would he say?" to one of them, and then do the opposite. I think the girl just went the way the dude said.

hehehehe

american joke... and the answer is a quarter and a nickel. one is not a nickel, so the other one is. wasnt that on scrubs?

Yeha but really the real question is should you switch your choice of door? Paticularly if the ultimate prize is a holiday via a plane sitting on the treadmill waiting to take off??

beaten by opec :(

Oh for the love of christ. This is like a grade 3 puzzle, and some of the answers provided are f***ing moronic.

The answer is:

You ask either guy, "What way would your friend tell me to go?" and you go the opposite way to what he says. Think about it.

God damn.

american joke... and the answer is a quarter and a nickel. one is not a nickel, so the other one is. wasnt that on scrubs?

You gave me a penny and what appears to be a button, on which you've written twenty-nine cents.

you ask one 'if i ask the other guy, which direction will he pick?'

more information.......then go the opposite direction.

if you talk to the liar he will tell you the truthful guy will tell you the wrong way.
if you talk tothe truthful guy he will tell you the liar will tell you the wrong way also

and for the dr who pointer outerer thats what i remember it from too.
