When you are trying to get to Truth Town, you get to No Knaves Town, a city comprised of only Liars and Knights. Each of the three forks leading away from the town (not including the one you came from) leads to a different city.

There are 6 people around. Wanting to know who is what so you can ask them which fork to take, you ask them who is a liar and who is a knight.

A: C would say that B is a liar
B: D would say that C is a knight
C: E would say that F is a liar
D: C would say that A is a knight

Tired of these responses, you ask what fork leads to Truth Town.

E: The left fork leads to Truth Town
F: The middle fork leads to Truth Town

Which fork should you take to get to Truth Town?

only three possibilities: 1. E is a knight and F is a liar; 2. E is a liar and F is a knight; or 3. both E and F are liars. working backwards, only choice 3 works out, so the right fork leads to truth town.
