Can anyboby figure out this riddle?:
You are stuck on an island and there are two tribes. 1 tribe always tells the truth, the other tribe always lies. Both tribes look excactly alike. You want to get off this island so you go into the jungle and find a fork in the road and and a tribe member is standing there, one path leads to the city and one leads to more jungle. U don't know which way to go, what do you ask the tribe member? Remember he could be the liar.

Remember you don't know if you are asking the liar or the truth teller!

Just ask "according to your opinion what will that guy over there answer if I ask where the city is ?"
This will make both of them to tell you the wrong way. So just go the other way.

I Would Ask Him To Take A Walk Into The City With Me And I Will Reward Him With A Feast Of Food For Him And His Tribe. Tribal People Love Food......Even The Liars....

If you are allowed more than one answer, I would first ask a simple question to determine which tribe he is from, like "what color is that flower", or something similar, if you can definitely tell he is telling the truth, ask him "which way to the city". That's what I would do. If that's the answer to the riddle, I can't say for sure.
Good Luck!

Point to one fork and say, "If I asked you whether this was the fork that leads to the city, what would you tell me?" If it's the truth-teller, no problem. You go whichever direction indicated by his answer. If it's the liar, he will tell you the opposite of what is the truth, which is that he would lie to you. So if he would say "this is the fork" if you asked him directly, he will lie and say "I would tell you this is not the fork." But he would lie, so this must be the wrong one. In other words, you've effectively forced him to tell you the truth.

You ask either of the tribes : Which way would the OTHER tribe say is the way to the city, then go the other way.
Think about it...
By the way, in the real version you are only allowed to ask 1 question.

i agree with the first answer-
"if you were from the other tribe, which way would you tell me was the way to the city?"
