You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth
"Which sex am I?"
If, in my case, the door says 'female' then it must be the door to the City of Lies. If it says 'male', it must be the door to the City of Truth.
Actually, any question with only two outcomes to which you know the answer would work here. If the answer is wrong, then the door must be lying.

which way would the other one of you point
therefor truth would point the way the liar would point
but the liar would lie about it and point the same way

A Father and son are driving in a car, it is involved in a horrible accident where the father dies. The son is rushed to hospital where he is immediately taken to the operating theatre. The surgeon comes in looks at the patient and says. I can't operate on him he's my son.
How is this possible? |

every man is the son of their father

father= father of a young baby?
father of young baby dies-- son is rushed to hospital where his father works??

they can't both be pointing the same direction.

You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark and you have one match. There is a candle and a wood-burning stove.
Which do you light first?

The candle? Otherwise you won't be able to see to find any wood for the stove? Complete guess, I'm not very good at these!
