    (I can't remember from which Terry Pratchett book this came from, and its not the exact quote but basically ...)

    It had to do with 2 doors, one leading to life, and one leading to certain death -- same kind of question

    I'd find the smaller of the two and overpower him, and then say to him "Look bub, we both know how this goes - so lets not play silly buggers. Which door is the correct door, and also by the way, you're going through it first"

    I guess it doesn't apply since its paths, and not certain death tho

    Ask either twin "Which path would your twin tell me to take". Then go down the other path from the one they indicate.

    Reasoning:

    If the twin you ask is the truth-telling twin, he will know the other twin lies and will point you in the wrong direction, so will point the wrong way.

    If the twin you ask is the one who always lies, he will also point you in the wrong direction (the direction the truth-telling twin would NOT have told you to go in)

    I remember seeing something similar to this in a movie recently. Well, not a recent movie (because I never go to the theatre anymore).
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
