Help with a riddle.

[Vash02]

Okay, i need help with the answer to a riddle. Lets put our heads together and try to figure this out.

A man is walking in the woods. He comes to a fork in the road. On each side of the road, there is a tribe. One tribe always tells the truth, and the other always lies. To make things more complicated, one of the paths is safe, while the other is full of dangers. What ONE question can the man ask each tribe to determine which path is safe?

Both of the tribes are Lying.
or...
Ask one of the tribes which path is the safe route. Crap, I used to know the answer

Ask the Tribe on the Left "Would the Other tribe say the Left path is safe?". If they say "Yes" go to the right, if they say "No" go to the left. No other questions needed.

Just ask them "If you were the other tribe wich way would you tell me is the safe way?"
Then just go the oposite direction. The truthful tribe would tell the lie of the false tribe and the false tribe would lie no matter what.

ah hell, my head hurts

[RenagadeOfFunk]

You would ask..."What would the other tribe say if I asked which path is safe"...

Truth tribe (They would say the other tribe has the safe path, cause its what the liying tribe would say)

Lie Tribe (They would say its them cause they would lie anyway even since you asked what the other tribe would say...)

How dangerous could it be?

ask one tribe which is the safe route

ask the other tribe which is the unsafe route

since one always tells the truth and one always lies you will get the same route

[Thordic]

ask one tribe which is the safe route

ask the other tribe which is the unsafe route

since one always tells the truth and one always lies you will get the same route

They'll both tell you the same route, but you won't know if its the safe one or not.

By the way, if it were me, I'd ask one tribe if the sky was blue, then ask the other which was the safe path.

Since the sky is obviously blue, you'd know right off the bat which tribe was truthful.

The sky is violet, not blue, it only apears blue because we cannot see violet very well. No cookie for you.
