A traveller comes to a fork in the road which leads to two villages. In one village the people always tell lies, and in the other village the people always tell the truth. The traveller needs to conduct business in the village where everyone tells the truth. A man from one of the villages is standing in the middle of the fork, but there is no indication of which village he is from. The traveller approaches the man and asks him one question. From the villager's answer, he knows which road to follow. What did the traveller ask?

He'll say  "which road goes to your village?". He would take the way the person pointed to. The truthful peson, would point to  his village, the truth village. The liar would point to the truth village, the same village because he can't tell the truth. So, if the traveller wants to go the truth village, he knows which road to take. Then, if he wants to take the lie village, he would take that.
