You Have To Be A Genius To Solve 20 Of These Logic Puzzles

A person is lost in the forest and comes to a fork in the path. One path leads to rescue, the other leads deeper into the forest. There are two people at the fork, one who always tells the truth and the other who always lies. The person can ask only one question to determine which path to take. What should they ask?

Retry Correct Incorrect The one who tells you the truth will truthfully point in the direction that leads deeper in the forest, because he knows the other person would lie. The one who lies will also point deeper into the forest, because he is lying about which way the one who tells the truth would point. This means you ask them this, and go the opposite way that they both pointed.
