You ask one of them "If I ask the other person, what answer will they give?" and then you do the opposite.
If you have asked the liar, he will tell you a lie about what the truth-teller one would tell you.
If you have asked the truth-teller, he will tell you the lie which the liar would tell you.
Let us suppose that you want to pick from a good door (door A) and a bad door (door B)
If your question is "If I ask the other person what door should I use. what door would they say?"
The truth-teller will know that the liar would say B, and will say this.
The liar would know that the truth-teller would say A, and will say B.
So, you need to base your answer on what they don't say - which in this case is Door A.

Do you tell the truth?
There is no way to be certain just by asking. Someone who is lying would lie about telling the truth.The "Liar's Paradox" is that no one can rationally answer a question about the truth by saying "I am lying." This is clearly because if you are telling the truth, you say "I am telling the truth" and if you are actually lying (about lying), you would again say "I am telling the truth" (a lie).If you said you were lying, you would have to be telling the truth, but you're not because you are lying. This is similar to the double-negative paradigm ("He's not right...he's just not wrong").
Bobby either always lies or always tells the truth Regardless of which it is there is one statement that Bobby can never make What is it?
He cannot say "I am lying." (if he always tells the truth, he's lying - if he's always lying, he's telling the truth). This is known as the Liar's Paradox.
How do you figure out the riddle with the twins one lies and one tells the truth?
"the answer is the man asks them both what would your bother say" The man in this riddle may only ask one question. The answer is: He must ask one of the twins - it doesn't matter which, "What path would your sister tell me to take?" The lying twin will tell you her truth-telling sister will tell you to take the wrong path, not because she is deceiving, but because it is given that she ALWAYS lies. The truth-telling twin will tell you that her lying sister will tell you ALSO the wrong path. Then, the man knows which path is the wrong path and must take the opposite.
That is a lie tell the truth?
Okay then, but we have one huge problem here. Your question do not make no sense at all. Who is lying, who is telling the truth. Are this words connected that is why you asked this question?
A book has 1000 pages page 1 says 1 page is lying page 2 says 2 pages are lying page 1000 says 1000 pages are lying which one is telling the truth?
Page 999 Explanation: There are (presumably) 1000 pages in the book. All of them are lying except for one. Going through the pattern, Page 999 says 999 pages are lying. That is true All of them are telling the truth because all of them say they are lying and that is true.
What is the riddle where one has to find which door is Heaven and which is Hell with Angel telling truth and Skeleton lying?

If Someone says I always lie are they telling the truth Or are they lying?
If I said you always lie, and it's true, then I'm telling the truth. The opposite is also true.However, it would generally be a lie since there is not one absolute liar or absolutely honest person.
What one question with an answer of either yes or no can the nurse ask of the native will permit her to take the safe jar?
Heh, this answer is actually the answer to most of these riddles.I don't know this one exactly, but I guess she has to choose between one that is safe and one that is poisoned and she can ask one question, right?Well, since most of these riddles contain two person you can ask the same question and one tells the truth and one tells a lie, the logic tells that if you ask both which is the safe one they will both point to different jars. Darn, ain't getting further that way.So, to make it easy on ya. One will always tell the truth and one will always lie. So you ask them: Which jar would the other pick? The one telling the truth would point to the jar the lying one would pick, being the jar with poison. The one who is always lying would be forced to point to the exact same jar as the one telling the truth, because he can't say the truth and point to the jar without the poison.Understandable? hehe, I know it's a bit out there, but that's the only answer I've come up with to all these riddles :)
One of us is telling the truth and one of us is telling a lie?

When your telling the truth and you dont have proof but you are really telling the truth and no one believes you what do you do?

Page 1000. because if all of the pages are lying, then 2 pages are lying, and 1 page is lying - only, not just 1 or 2.peace -Picklez
