     You are a stranger lost in a strange land. You are travelling along a road and you come to an intersection where you can go either east or west. You know that one of these roads will lead you to your destination, and that the other will lead you to a hopeless despair. Standing at this fork in the road are two men who know the direction you must take to reach your destination. You know that one of these men always tells the truth and that the other always lies. Unfortunately, you cannot remember who is who.

With only one question directed towards one of the men, how can you be sure to make the right choice and travel down the correct path?

Enjoy!
