Today's Question - You are on an island where there are only liars and truth-tellers, and they look and sound alike. You are on a dangerous journey, because there is a fork in the road that can lead either to quicksand or to safety. When you arrive at the fork, the signpost is gone but there are two men standing there. You know that you can ask only one question of only one man. What question can you ask either of them that will tell you which road is safe?

Corner Answer - (To best understand, assume the two roads are "A" and "B" - with "B" leading to quicksand.) You would ask one of them what road would the other man tell you was "the safe one." Then you would choose the opposite of whatever that answer was. Thus the "liar" would claim the other would point you to "B" (quicksand). But the other would truthfully point out that the "lair" would direct you to "B" (quicksand). Either way the answer would be quicksand and you should do the opposite.Doesn't match Missing info Like question
