If you’re lost in the middle of a deep forest and you found 2 paths. The other one going out the other one goes deeper in the forest. Each path has a guard the other guard always tells the truth the other guard always tells lies. How are you suppose to know your way out???

I'm not sure if you know the answer or not, but this is my take on it (this does work, by the way). It's a bit psychocological, so you might not be able to catch up...
Assume one man is A and the other is B, and the paths are C and D. A tells the truth, B lies, C is the right way out, and D is the wrong way.
Ask A what B would tell you if you asked him which road was the way out. He would tell you that B would say the wrong way out (D), because B always lies. Go over to B and ask the same question. B would say that A would tell you the wrong way out (D), because A would tell you the right way, but B always lies. Thus, you know that C is the correct way out, and you need not know which is telling the truth, because both would point out the wrong way.
This works no matter which one lies and which one tells the truth.
Hope you could understand this!

I would first ask one guard a question to which the answer is obvious (like what color are your shoes), in order to figure out which one lies. Then I'd ask the other guard which path takes me out of the forest most quickly and safely, and choose my path on whether he's the truth telling guard or the liar.

ask one of the guards which path is the one that leads out the forest then if they both tell you to take the same path so you take the one that they say is the wrong one

ask either guard "if I ask the other guard which path to choose, what would he tell me?" then do the opposite.
that's an old one.

Hank finally found the nerve to tell his fiance that he had to break off their engagement so that he could marry another woman.
"Can she cook like I can?" the distraught woman asked.
"Not on her best day." Hank replied.
"Does she buy you expensive gifts like I do?" she asked.
"No, she's broke."
"Well then, is it sex?"
"Nope,... nobody does it like you, babe."
"Then what is it? What can she do for you that I can't?"
"She can sue me for child support."
