Ok, let me try to remember what it is. I probably will mess it up a lot
You come to a fork in the road, which only leads to two towns. One of those towns is where the people always lie, and the other is where the people always tell the truth. You want to go to the one where people always tell the truth. On one side of the fork, there is a person from the town that always lies, and on the other side of the fork, there is a person from the town that always tells the truth. But you don't know which person comes from where. You can only ask one question, which is directed to both of them(i think). So, what do you ask in order to make it to the truth town?
If you can't understand it that good, just tell me and I'll try to make it clearer.

I guess it might've been too easy, or maybe common. I don't know if certain jokes or riddles are commonly told.

Well, someone already got the answer, but GinnyKitty, that wouldn't work, because the truth person will say yes, and the liar will say that they tell the truth too, so you would have btoh fo them saying they tell the truth, which wouldn't get you anywhere.

Oh yes, I am the cure is right. I remember the person who told me saying that. And it makes sense.

All the answers posted are not quite right. Asking what town the person is from will only produce the answer that they are from the town of truthsayers.
The actual question should be "Which way to your town?" Then they will tell you the path.

You ask either one of them "If I ask the other one, if this (pointing to either of the roads) is the road to the truthful town, what will he say?"
I've heard this similar riddle but in a different way, but I think the hard part is that you can only ask one of the people one question and that was it. That's how I heard it, but idk. :)
edit.
I've been thinking about the other answers, and if you ask "What town are you from?" how would you know if they will point to their town? They could just say, "Oh, I'm from a town that always lies" or something like that, couldn't they? and that wouldn't exactly help, right?

I d k, but here is a joke.
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: "You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increases as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!"
So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs". The second floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs and Love Kids". The third floor sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking."
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
At the fourth floor the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework."
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: "These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak." She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads: "You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store."
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opens a New Wives store just across the street. It too has six floors. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money. The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

Which town are you from?
The person from the truth town point to it and the person form th lieing one point to the truth one also.
Ginkitty- Your trying to work out which way to go not who is the lier remmeber, if you ask 'do you tell the truth?' once they answer with 'yes' and 'yes' are you going tobe able to work out what way to go?
