The Island

[KittyKat]

this is a brain teaser in my math class (y math i dunno) but i get some xtra credit if i get it right. i have no idea what the answer is and i was wondering if any1 could help.


There is an island with 2 tribes on it, the TruthTellers and the LieTellers. The TruthTellers tell only the truth and the LieTellers tell only lies. While walking in the forrest looking for a way out you come to a clearing with a represenative from each tribe there at a fork in the road. One of the paths leading to safety and the other leading to certain death. You know you need to take one of the paths. Each represenative look alike and sound alike. You can only ask 1 question to 1 of the reps. What is the question you ask?

if any1 can help me on this i need to know the question and why that question would work

Ask one a question that you know the answer to. Like "Is 1+1=2?". Then you know if they are a truth-teller or a liar. Then ask the other one which way is safe.

[KittyKat]

no, i think u misunderstood me, u can only ask ONE question total. sorry for the confusion.

Ah, ok. I knew it too easy, heh.

Ducky has the answer for everything, please stand by while i try to explain

[Super Duckie]

ok, the first man would always say he is the truthteller. If he was the truthteller, of course he would say so.  If he was a liar, he would still say he was the truthteller.  This means the second man will tell the truth.. so ask the second man which path is safe.. I think that is the answer to the riddle..

Because when they came out of the paths they told you who they were, the first one said he was the truthteller but you didn't quite hear what the second man said.........

[marky03]

[Super Duckie]

When I asked someone, this is the answer I got  :(

I know this one, only the way I heard it was a little bit differently. The way I heard it, the TruthTellers were friendly, the LieTellers were cannibals so the question to ask would be "Which way to your tribe?"

Sowwy, Still trying....
