You are travelling down a country lane to a distant village. You reach a fork in the road and find a pair of identical twin sisters standing there. One of the sisters always tells the truth and the other always lies.

If you are allowed to ask only one question to one of the sisters to find the correct road to the village, what is your question ?

You'd ask one sister, what path the other would say to take. Then take the opposite.

If you ask the honest ones, she'll tell you the wrong path because she knows he sister lies. If you ask the dishonest one, she'll lie.

Ask either one "Which way would your sister tell me to go?" and go the other way.

this is one of my favorites ... it is also the most repeated puzzle on this forum - still coming in new variations (stories) ... long discussion can be found in the thread entitled Honestants and Swindlecants III.

looking forward to new puzzles ... this topic is locked
