You are at a fork in the road, and one path leads to paradise and the other to certain doom. You cannot tell which is which. There are two guards: one who always tells the truth, and one who always lies. You do not know who is who. You can only ask one question to one guard to find the safe path. What question do you ask?
Ask either guard: "If I were to ask the other guard which path is safe, what would he say?" (If you ask the liar, he will lie about the honest guard's truth. If you ask the honest guard, he will honestly tell you what the liar would say. In both cases, the answer will point to the wrong path, so you must take the opposite!)

A father told his three sons he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give his property to. He said, “Go to the market and buy something that is large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket. From this, I will decide which of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land.” They all went to the market, and each came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with their item. The first son came in and put some pieces of cloth he bought and laid them across the room, but it barely covered the floor.
