i love riddles but this one fooled me for almost a week
you are in a strange land and you are lost
you come across a crossroads and you know that one road leads home the other leads to certain death
in this strange land there are only two types of people, the first ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH HE CANNOT LIE
the second always lies ,HE CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH.
ONE OF EACH OF THESE MEN IS AT THE CROSS ROADS
these men know what way leads home and which to certain death
NOW YOU CAN ONLY ASK THEM ONE QUESTION AND IT MUST BE THE SAME QUESTION
from this question you will know which road is the safe road
CAN YOU THINK OF THE QUESTION?

@prodgalson,if u ask which way leads home to each of them u'll still get opposin answers
because if right's the way home,the lair will say left and the honest man will say right and that won't solve the problem.
i must say my friends and i have been crackin our brains on this 1 tryin to find what the question should be.

This is a practical question I see no reason to even theorize it, I'll show my hands (both) to one of them and ask." do I have 5 fingers on each hand" if he says yes. then he says the truth so I ask Liar which way is home, and go in the opposite direction.
liar on the other hand will obviously lie and say you have six fingers, so I go to truth and ask him the way home.
QED
In case you are interested in my theory it says establish the vera/vericityspelling of the obvious and apply the rules of logical conclusion.
