You’re at a fork in the road in which one direction leads to the City of Lies (where everyone always lies) and the other to the City of Truth (where everyone always tells the truth). There’s a person at the fork who lives in one of the cities, but you’re not sure which one. What question could you ask the person to find out which road leads to the City of Truth?

“Which direction do you live?” Someone from the City of Lies will lie and point to the City of Truth; someone from the City of Truth would tell the truth and also point to the City of Truth.

A farmer is on his way back from the market, with him he has a fox, a chicken and some grain. When he reaches a river crossing he must use a small boat only big enough for him and one other item. Unfortunately, if the fox is left alone with the chicken it will eat it, as will the chicken eat the grain. Explain how the farmer can cross the river.

  • The farmer takes the chicken to the far side and leaves him there.
  • The farmer returns in an empty boat and collects the fox (or grain.)
  • Travelling again to the far side he deposits the fox (or grain) & picks up the chicken to return to the near side.
  • At the near side he deposits the chicken and collects the grain (or fox).
  • At the far side he leaves the fox and grain together.
  • He returns with an empty boat and collects the chicken.
