Lets try a simper version of the same problem. 2 cannibals 2 doors One door leads to freedom one door to the boiling pot. Both cannibals know which door is which. One always lies one always tells the truth. What one question can you ask (actually there are two questions but one is a negative of the other more or less), that gets you a guaranteed freedom. If the question is asked one way you take the answer straight up, the other way and you take the opposite of the answer you are given. I introduced a third person of questionable intregrity in my question. The trick is to first weed out the problem so you arrive at 2 cannibals (or two farmers), eliminating the one that sometimes tells the truth. Hint to second second question. Think about asking a question about the future that has a "this door that door answer for cannibals, or for farmers, this fork in the road vs that fork in the road. M
