You are walking down a road, an old woman comes up to you and warns you to not continue. If you continue you will find a fork in the road. One road leads to winning bets for the rest of your life. The other road leads to instant death (or losing bets the rest of your (the slow death)). At the fork are twin brothers who can assist you in choosing the road to winnings. There is one small problem, you may only ask one question, to just one of the brothers. Then you you must choose which road to take. Before you decide on what question to ask, one last thing about the twins, one brother always tells the truth and one brother always lies.

What question do you ask?

Good luck

I figure you have to ask two questions to get anywhere, not one. Maybe the riddle should be that you can ask one question and only one question of each brother, but I could be wrong.

Ask Guy1: Which road would your brother have me take to happiness?

Guy1: My brother would have you take road A

Ask Guy2: Which road should I take to happiness?

Guy2: Take road A.

Now, Guy1 must be the 'honest' brother as he told me truthfully that Guy2 would tell me to take road A. Therefore Guy2 is the liar. Therefore I should take road B.

Assume Guy2 instead says, 'Take road B':

Then that means that Guy1 must be the 'dishonest' brother. Therefore Guy2 is the honest brother and I should take road B.

Symmetry of roads and brothers means that the conclusion is valid for any case. tulsa

you can solve the riddle with just one question

They both would have to answer that question though, right? I have to have input from both...right?

I would ask them one question then, but they both have to answer:

What way would your brother say I should go to find my happiness?

Guy1: My brother would have you take Road A

Guy2: My brother would have you take Road A

Then one of the brothers is lying and instead the honest one would have me take road B, but he didn't tell me what he would take....just told me what the lying brother would do. I take Road B.

They will both ALWAYS answer the same to that question. They cannot each say a different road.

Either they both say Road A or they both say Road B. Whichever one they both say, I take the other.

I've got to go to beddddd!! What's the verdict?

tulsa

ps...I wish I could ask the honest brother if Boston won and he would say, "yes."

I wish I could ask the lying brother if Florida won and he would say, "no."

That is what I wish.

Sorry to put an end to this but you ask one of them what the other would say and do the opposite.

What do I win?

Tulsa you in effect had the right idea. You ask which road would your brother send me to happiness if I asked him.

If road "A" is happiness, the brother who lies all of the time would point you to road "B", lieing about which road his brother would send you down.

If you asked the brother who tells the truth, he too would tell you his brother would send you down road "B".

Thus you would go down road "A" and never have another losing bet, but would that be fun knowing every bet you placed was going to win?
