A while ago I saw a riddle thread, so I decided to make a logic question thread. First of all, do any of you have any logic questions if so post them.
I guess I'll start it out with an easy one:
You have to make a choice between two directions at sea. One direction will lead you to an island of all truth tellers and one will lead to an island of all liars. You meet a wandering sailor who came from one of the islands, but you do not know which one. By only using one question determine which way to the truthful island.
Hint: THIS question doesn't have to be yes/no but the next questions might be yes/no questions
Okay, well since I never saw this answered correctly, I'm going to.
Ask the sailor which island he came from. If he's from the truth island, he'll point to the truth island.
If he's from the liar island, he will also point to the truth island, because he's lying.
Either way, you know which one Truth is. Then you finish this fight.
