You are stranded in a land with only two big cities. Knightville is populated only by Knights, and Liarville - only by liars. Naturally, you wish to get to Knightville, where you hope to find help.

During your travels, you meet a resident of these parts, who must have come from one of the two cities, but you do not know which.

With one simple question, how do you find out what direction Knightville lies in?

how about asking "if i were to ask u which direction to knightville, what would u tell me"

they would both point to knightville, knights b/c they are honest and liars bc it is a double negative, they would have to lie twice, therefore telling the truth
