The Road Not Taken

Today you've come to a fork in the road.

And on this divergence of pathways there stands a man.

This man tells you one path leads to heaven,

and the other to hell.

The man that stands in front of you will either tell:

  1. Purely the truth or
  2. Irrational claims and lies

A question you may ask,

one and none more.

The decision,

is yours.

don't ask "which road leads to heaven". You will get 2 different answers with no way to know which is correct....

ask "if I were to ask you 'which way to heaven?' what would you say?

A truthful man would tell you the correct way....

A liar would also (unwillingly) tell you the correct way....

explanation... if you ask a liar which way to heaven, he says the way to hell...

but, if you ask which one would he say, he lies and tells you the other one which is the way to heaven...

either way, you know which way to go Cool

or, I am totally screwy and need to go back to logic class....

Haha, not necessarily do you need to go back to logic class; but following the rules of the riddle would prove best.Wink
