Would You Rather:

Be lost where there are no street signs to point the way

OR
no people to ask?

So, there are 2 cities ahead of you. In one city, ALL the people ALWAYS tell the truth. In the other city, ALL the people ALWAYS lie. You want to go the truthful city. Suddenly you come to an unmarked fork in the road. One road leads to the truthful city and one leads to the lying city. Standing at the fork of the road is a resident of one of those cities, but you don't know which city. You are only allowed to ask her one question. What is the question you should ask that will get you on the correct road to the truthful city? (I'll quote and Like the correct answer. There is only one right answer, by the way to the riddle)

Lol, nice try, but it wouldn't work. Remember, the fork in the road is unmarked, so you still wouldn't know which way to go if the resident answered that question truthfully

Nice try, but remember the object is to get pointed in the correct direction by a question, even if the resident at the fork is telling the truth or lying

[Toadie]

I would stand facing the same way as her and ask while pointing right "I'm correct in saying I'm pointing left for truth village"

Nice try again, but that's still a 50/50 shot. You could still be lied to about being correct by the resident in the fork of the road.

[wolfknight]

I would walk between the forks not stopping to ask anything

[Toadie]

How? If she agrees then clearly she is lying because I'm not pointing in that direction I said I was

But if she says no she could still be lying, and no could mean "yes you are correct"

I do like this answer though, I'll  give you the win

[HDesiato]

I would ask her, 'which road leads to your home?'

[QuiteContrary]

Which road did you take to get here?!!

[QuiteContrary]

Aw, caught my mistake. I would ask "which road to the city you live in?"  Where she came from would not matter if the two visited each other's cities. Oh well...
