Timothy goes to the island of knights and liars searching for gold. On the way,he meets a native.

What one question could Timothy ask the native to find out if there is gold on the island?

It seemed like it to me, too, but in looking at the other problems in the category it seems not. Must be that simple "double negative" L&K problems like this are everywhere, and just now is this one coming to this site.

Lewis' solution is pretty much equivalent to mine, but the double negative becomes a quadruple negative. An interesting discuccion of this property can be found in TomM's Lost in the Catacombs problem.
