THE LIAR’S VILLAGE “ There is a traveler who wants to go to the honest person’s village. However, there are two ways in front of him. One leads him to the honest person’s village, but the other to the liar’s village. A man who comes from either village is standing there. If the traveler can ask a question of him to get to the destination, what question is the best? ” The teacher asked. Students thought for a moment, and one of them raised his hand and replied, “ It’s easy. The answer is “ Please tell me which village do you come from. ” “ That’s right! Great! ” The student smiled proudly. However, another student raised his hand. “ What’s the matter? The question was answered. ” “ No. The answer varies in infinite ways. ” “ Why? ” “ Because if the traveler could get to the liar’s village, he would not make sure that he could get to the liar’s village.
