Because you can only ask one man, one question, you would ask one of them "Which way would the other man tell me to go?"
If you ask the liar, he will tell you the wrong road since he would lie about what the truthful man would tell you.
If you asked the truthful man, he would tell you the wrong path because the liar would tell you to take the wrong path.
So no matter who you ask, take the opposite road they tell you.

Write a number on a paper…let us say “75.” Now ask one of the guys what is the number?
1. If he is the guy who tells the truth he will tell you ‘75’
2. If he is the guy who tells lies he will tell you a wrong number.
Now that you have identified the person who tells the truth ask him the right directions.

Ask the following question to each of them....
