There are 2 towns. Truthtown and Lietown. In truth town everyone tells the truth ALWAYS, in lietown everyone lies ALWAYS. You are walking to truthtown and come upon a fork in the road one way is truthtown the other way is lietown. There are no signs designating which is the correct direction to truth town. A man at the fork is from one of the two towns, what question can you ask him to find the way to truth town.

 

Remember if he is from lietown he must lie and if he is from truth town he will lie
