- Ok..Now let's see you,logic gguys resolving this question:
- Let's assume that somewhere(on other planet??) there are 2 cities:a city with
- honest people ,who NEVER lie,and a city with crooks,who NEVER TELL the TRUTH.
- One day per year they are going to shoping to the other city,so they are all
- mixed together in both cities.On the very same crazy day,a poor parachutist
- jumped exactly in one of the two cities.The guy know he is in one of those
- cities,but he doesn't know in which of them.Now THE BIG QUESTION is:What
- question should he ask one of the people he sees,so he could deduce in which
- city he is.Remember:The man he is asking could be a liar or a honest man.HE (the
- parchutist) doesn't know it.
-
- NOW,let's see your brains working!!
- Livy. (I know the answer!!)
