    Nope...That'd be Me. :D

    You're walking down a road when you come to a fork in the road. One path leads to the land of Truth; the other to the land of Lies.
    There's a man standing there. You'd like to ask him for directions, but you don't know which town he's from.

    So My question is:

    What question would you ask this man which would lead you to the land of truth?

    :D

    "If I were to ask you which path leads to the land of Truth, what would your answer be?"

    One from the land of Truth will always answer with the truth. One from the land of Lies would be forced to lie about their lie, which results in the truth.

    I end the game. I have no question. "Green, you bastard!"

    I would ask: “What has it got in its pocketses?” (Imagine Gollum’s voice here)

    Whatever he replies, I would then use aggression and search his pockets to find out if he was lying or speaking the truth. Afterwards, guarding the way back, I would check which way he was fleeing in. At that moment I will know where I want to go as well.

    Or (classical answer) I would place down a signpost with two signs, but nothing on them. I would then ask the man: “If this signpost gave opposite directions to your own directions, what would this sign say?”

    If the man were lying about the road to the land of truth and would tell me it was the way to the land of lies, the sign would show the land of truth. But the man will lie, so he will tell me the sign says: land of lies.

    If the man were telling the truth about the road to the land of truth and would tell me it was the way to the land of truth, the sign would show the land of lies. As the man will tell the truth, he will tell me the sign says: land of lies.

    If the man were lying about the road to the land of lies and would tell me it was the way to the land of truth, the sign would show the land of lies. But the man will lie, so he will tell me the sign says: land of truth.

    If the man were telling the truth about the road to the land of lies and would tell me it was the way to the land of lies, the sign would show the land of truth. As the man will tell the truth, he will tell me the sign says: land of truth.

    Now all I have to do is follow the path I wish to take. The answer of the man is always opposite to the land the road really leads to.

    Now I’m told to ask a question, ehhm…

    Did you ever play games on the commodore 64 and if yes: what was your favorite game?

    A hillbilly went hunting one day in West Virginia and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home where he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn’t like hillbillies. The game warden ordered the hillbilly to show his hunting license, and the hillbilly pulled out a valid West Virginia hunting license. The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed its butt, and said, “This duck ain’t from West Virginia. This is a Kentucky duck. You got a Kentuckey huntin’ license, boy?” The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Kentucky hunting license.
    The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed its butt, and said, “This ain’t no Kentucky duck. These ducks are from Tennessee. You got a Tennessee license?”
    The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Tennessee license. The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck, sniffed its butt, and said "This ain’t no Tennessee duck. This here ducks from Virginia. You got Virginia. huntin’ license?”
    Again, the hillbilly reached into his wallet and brought out Virginia. hunting license. The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the hillbilly “Just where the hell are you from?
    “The hillbilly turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said “You tell me, you’re the expert!!”
