The Fork!
It's not a real fork, it's a fork in the road.
So, you're walking along this road. It's dusty and been hit by a recent sandstorm because you're now in the middle of a desert. You reach a fork in the road with a fallen down signpost and two cities in the distance. They both look the same and the signpost reads "The city of Deciet" and "The City of Truth". There stands ONE person beside the fallen down signpost. Now, the person is male and you want to get to the city of Truth because you don't want to get stabbed, 'cause it's not nice to be stabbed. It hurts. Anyway, you want to go the City of Truth, but there's nothing to say which way to go apart from the man. He comes from one of the two cities and you must ask him only one question.
Fear my question of evil question-ness.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

If that was your answer, then it's wrong, by the way.

Re: The Fork!
If I was to ask you which city is the city of truth, what would you say?

If he was from the City of Truth, he would answer, truthfully, "that one"
If he was from the City of Deceit, and you asked him directly which was the City of Truth he would point you to the City of Deceit. But if you ask him "what would you say" he would have to lie about THAT, and so would point at the City of Truth.
So, that would work!

Re: The Fork!
The idea is that you don't know where he came from.
Also, someone from CoD would still lie, even if pointing.

True. I will bribe zach with peanuts for the answer. It's fool proof.

Re: The Fork!
For heavens sake, the answer is obviously this:
"If you were from the city of Deciet, which way would you go?" and go the opposite way he says.
Tsk.
