Brain teaser...

There are these two tribes in Africa, one tribe only tells the truth and the other tribe only tells lies and are a bunch of cannibals. A man, on his way to see the truth telling tribe, comes to a fork in the road and sees a member of one of the tribes. He has no idea which tribe he belongs to because both tribes dress the same. Knowing that if he ends up at the liars tribe he will be killed and eaten, what ONE question can he ask this man at the fork in the road that will GUARANTEE him he will get to the truth telling tribe?

the cubs won the wrold series this year right? in theory, the liars will say yes, and the truth speakers will say no, becuase its only july, the world series isnt until october. there ya go solved

OK, but what if they lie in telling the truth? Like they know the on question you can ask so the liar tells the truth knowing that u think he'd be the liar so in the end u still go the wrong way 'cause the tribe person that told u the truth would have told u the same...

you ask either one what the other one would say, then take the opposite road.

Don't think like that.

There's only one person sitting at the fork in the road.

HAHA, i was worth 3.3 mil with some more after it. and i had a high IQ as well, so that make my answer more correct

The man asks the guy at the fork if hes a male. If they guy replies with a no you say which tribe is the Truth telling one. He will lie to you so you pick the other one. If he says yes he is a male then his from the Truth telling one and you just ask which is which. I know there is another one thats the real right answer but mine is still right.

I'm pretty sure the answer has something to do with the fork in the road. Literally, the "fork".

Thats my guess though...

And ask him if it hurts. If he says no, he's from the liar tribe. Either that or he's a cyborg.

[zebrathree]

Then shoot him again. Just because.

Maybe he's dead???

I said he could only ask ONE question!!! Ya bastards!!!

Answer:
He asks either man, "If I were to ask you if this is the way I
should go, would you say yes?"

Solution:
He needs a question that will give him his answer no matter which
one he askes, and the one chosen fits the bill very nicely. When
the man who is always truthful is asked this question, he will,
of course, give the right answer.

If, however, the man he asks is the man who always lies, that man
will lie about the answer he would give, thus also giving the
correct answer.
