    There was a puzzle on a film called Next Door the other night. This is a variation of a variation of a classic theme. There was a man walking the only path in the wilderness of Leap (pronounced LEP) and he came to a fork in the road. There was a native there.
    He knew that there were two tribes in this area. One, a good tribe which only told the truth, and the other, a cannibalistic tribe which always lied.
    He knew that one path led to the good tribe, and one path led to the cannibalistic tribe.

    He had no way of knowing to which tribe this native belonged. He only had time to ask the native 1 question. What question should he have asked?

    You always ask one person what the other would say and the answer will always be false.

    thats the answer to the traditional one, but this is a variation. You ask what the a memeber of the tribe would say in response to what question? Thats wrong anyway smile.gif
