I don't lie, not ever.
Riddle time:
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.
You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
Ask one guard "If I asked the other guard, which door would he indicate
leads to Paradise?" Take the door opposite to what's indicated.
Regardless of whom you ask, they'll point to the wrong door.
Well don't blame me lol, I'd heard that riddle before but I didn't feel like typing it out so I googled "riddle paths truth lie" and it found that one for me.
Trucky gave the answer: "what would the other guard say is the path to paradise?"
The liar will lie and say the honest person would tell you that the honest person would tell you the wrong path, aka the one to death.
The honest one will tell you that the liar will tell you the wrong path, which is also the one to death.
So you ask that question, and go down the opposite path of that indicated.

I read Truckys post and yours as well. I am now backing away from this thread, and never coming back.
