The one question that guarantees a correct answer, no matter if the Indian is a Liar or a Truth Teller is:

"If I came here yesterday and asked you how to get to the Truth Telling Village, what would you have told me?"

Obviously, if you are talking to a Truth Teller, he would have given you the proper direction.

But a Liar would've have lied - and sent you the wrong way. But because Liars always lie, he now has to lie about what he would've told you yesterday - and send you in the right direction.

Spock once saved the day by confusing an advanced race of aliens with an answer similsr to this.

Mr Foghorn,

wasn't that Harry Mudds androids, the ones with numbers around their necks that would light up when they were confused?

Don't worry guys. It took me a day and a half.

Why just not ask the Indian... "Where do you live"

The one that tells the truth will point you to his village, the liar will point you to the thruth tellers village as well...

Seems simpeler to me... :confused1:

I was under the impression Boscoe's Indians all spoke "pug"... :confused1:

@mr. wauters: you can't tell whether it's a true teller or a liar since both tribes dress the same and are the same in every way - except that one lies and the other always tells the truth.

as for speaking pug, check this out:
