A certain country is inhabited only by truth tellers (people who always tells the truth) and liars

(people who always tell lies). Moreover, the inhabitation will respond only to yes or no questions. A
tourist come to a fork in a road where one branch leads to the capital and the other one does not. There
no sign indicating which branch to take, but there is a native standing at the fork. What yes/no question
should the tourist ask in order to determine which branch to take?

Solution:

Assuming that the native is a truth teller, if the right hand leads to the capital, the biconditional
is true and he will answer yes. If the right hand does not lead to the capital, then the biconditional is
false (since the two sentences differ in truth value) he will answer no.

Assuming that the native is a liar. If the right hand branch leads to the capital, the truth values of
TT and FF differ, so the biconditional is false, and because you are asking a liar by assumption, the liar
will answer yes. If the right hand branch does not lead to the capital, then the biconditional id true and
the answer will be a no.

In both situations, the answer is yes if the right hand branch travels to the capital, but no if it doesn’t,
which is, I believe, the anticipated outcome.
