(not) My day

Hmm yeah

I'm not going to talk about my day since it is about the same as any other, school, programming, pixeling, eating, sleeping, using the toilet. Jep, thats about it.

hmm… maybe a little riddle then.

Ok. You are in a car on your way to your long lost relative that finally called you one day. She's rather old so she can't come to you. You are riding on a long road.

Then you have to stop, since you can go two ways but you don't know what way to go. So you decide to ask at the only house nearby.

In front of the house is a sign that says:

"Here live mr. true and mr. false. One of us always speaks the truth and one of us always lies. If you ring our bell remember this: You can only ask us ONE QUESTION or we will shoot you in the head!"

How do you know what way to go after asking just one question. You don't know if it is mr. true or mr. false that is going to open the door, and remember ONLY ONE QUESTION! (Or you'll be dead)

Hmm, forgot to reply on the following things

1. "hey you are that guy of GM-E3"

Yes, I'm also that guy from GMClans, GMG, GMC and the dutch forums

2. about the banner

Yes, I made it

Ask who they are. Jokeing.

Lost me.

It depends on who wrote the sign, Mr.False or Mr.True.

Thanks Alpha, as if I wasn't confused enough.

There is no answer… it stems from a riddle where you need to get to the village of truthtellers and there is one man, standing at the meeting place between the city of truthtellers and the city of liars. You would ask him to take him to his own village, seeing as he would have to take you to the village of truthtellers.

Seeing as there are now two people (two men living with eachother in the middle of nowhere, strangely) and two routes which neither person holds any apparent affiliation with, there is no question that you could ask which would guarantee an answer that would help.

Nice try though.

Did you pixel your banner? If so, that thing is damn insane.

Say:

Will you shoot me if I can't figure this out?

True will say yes, false will say no. Because you will be shot that's the answer.

Maybe you could ask them who wrote the sign. If the guy who answers says "Mr. truth wrote it." You could assume that that person is Mr. False, which in turn means that he(Mr. False) wrote it, meaning it is a lie. You can then ask as many questions as you need. But if he says, "I, Mr. Truth wrote it." Then you're screwed.

No, Mike… THINK. Both of them would say that one wrote it… if Truth wrote it, both Truth and Lies would say he did. So, you couldn't rightfully assume that that it is Mr. Lie saying it.

That was the most retarded attempt at that riddle I've ever seen.

I already told you, there is no answer.

Although, if you wanted to br tricky, you could say "Would the other person living here tell me that the road to the left is the correct road?"

Ah, there it is.. the answer. If they say yes, go right. If they say go, go left.

"Although, if you wanted to br tricky"?
