Pls Help Me Answer This Online Interview Question by senatorken01(m): 9:08pm On Dec 16, 2014
To get a chance to interview for any of these positions, answer the simple riddle below.Here's the puzzle:"You are travelling down a country lane to a distant village. You reach afork in the road and find a pair of identical twin sisters standing there.One sister is standing on the road tovillage and the other standing on the road to never-land (of course, you don't know or see where each road leads).One of the sisters always tells the truth and the other always lies (of course, you don't know who is lying).Both sisters know where the roads go.If you are allowed to ask only one question to each of the sisters to find the correct road to the village,What is your question?"What will be your question?

Is she your twin sister?
Re: Pls Help Me Answer This Online Interview Question by DarryOsh(m): 9:46pm On Dec 16, 2014
there are two roads A and B


ask each twin : "if I asked your sister for the road to village , where will she direct me to? "


if the road to village is A, the lying twin will lie that her truthful sister will direct you to B. the truthful twin will tell the truth that her lying sister will direct you to B.


Therefore, you Will know that the correct Road is A.


in summary, ask both of them this question, they will choose the same road. then you go the the other road

"What will the other twin say if I asked for the road to the village?"

*Don't ask me for an explanation, it's quite lengthy*


*EDIT*
@OP, are you supposed to ask each one a different question or is it the same question for both?

I agree with you. Ask a question u have an answer to..... like is she your twin... of cuss the lying twin would say no and the good twin would say yes....so u know who to expect the truth from.. u can then ask the next one the road to the village.....

A question to each means you're allowed to ask 2 different questions... That makes the riddle too easy........ Was thinking you had only ONE (same) question to ask both and decipher the correct road
