I was going to ask "Why did the chicken cross the road"
but this looks like a smart crowd that's just itching for a good riddle.
You leave your job interview in Liar and Truthteller Town with two other candidates, who seem to know
each other. The interviewer has told you that one of them is a Liar and one is a Truthteller, but you
were so nervous you didn't ask him which was which.
Out on the sidewalk the three of you find the local Witch selling apples from a booth. Wicked witches
are notorious for making apples that will put you to sleep for one hundred years, and you have a train
to catch. But those apples look delicious. So you turn to the other candidates and randomly ask one for
advice. Her answer tells you all you need to know about the local Witch's apple.
What was your question?

answer
Your question was, "Would the other person tell me that this apple is all right to eat?"
If the person is the Truthteller and the apple is fine, she'll say, "No," because thats what the Liar would say.
If the person is the Liar and the apple is fine, she'll say, "NO," because thats not what the Truthteller would say.
Similarly, if the apple will put you to sleep, the person will have to say "Yes."

What apple would the other person say isn't safe to eat?
Pick that one. If they're truthful, then they would honestly tell you the liar says the safe apple isn't safe to eat. If they're lying, then they would falsely claim the truthteller says the safe apple isn't safe to eat. Either way, you're covered! =]
