Mish, I'm not sure you an solve this with only one question to one farmer. If you ask the same question to all 3, then you can eliminate U.

Let's assume you ask the question of U and he/she lies and says T. If you had asked U instead they would also say T.

How do you know if the lie came from L or U? And if U told the truth and said L, you would have also gotten L from T and you wouldn't know if you had T or U telling the truth. What am I missing? Seems like you need to simultaneously ask the question of all 3 to eliminate the combinations of possible answers.

For Question 2: "What WOULD YOU say if I WAS to ask YOU which is the correct road to take."

And how would you find the way if Farmer T sees you are a city slicker and decides to answer, "I would tell you the truth". Now, do you want to ask me a third question as to which road is the right road to your destination? Sorry, but you have used your 2 questions. LOL

Likewise, it still appears that you don't know for sure whether the first liar is L or U, but maybe I am missing something. Farmer L/U might say, "I would tell you a lie but you didn't ask me specifically". <G>

Back to the newsletter and watching for BLUD to move up on Monday.
