+Pharisee Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I came across this riddle / puzzle / question / whatever in a book I was reading recently. It's a bit different from the usual type of question and thought it might amuse. A pilgrim was confronted by a fork in the road he was travelling; one road lead to certain death, the other to certain safety. Each road had a guardian. These guardians were identical twin brothers. One guardian would always tell the truth, the other would always tell a lie. The pilgrim could only ask one of the guardians one question before deciding which road to take. He asked his question and then chose his road, knowing with absolute certainty that he would continue his journey in safety. What was the question he asked and which road did he choose?

+MartyBartfast Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ask either one "if I ask you brother which is the safe road what which will he say", then whatever is given as the answer take the other road. Quote Link to comment
