| Well,
one question you can ask is this:
Hello, my name is Kostas, can you tell me from which way did the
sun come up this morning?
If the answer is:
From the West side
then you are talking to lier
who also lives in the East side of the city.
let truth_indicater = -1
If the answer is:
From the East side
then you are talking to someone who tells the truth
who also lives in the West side of the city.
let truth_indicater = 1
Now you can ask: Which side of the city am I now?
If the answer you get is West and truth_indicater is equal to -1
then you are in the East side
esle if the answer you get is West and truth_indicater is equal to 1
then you are in the West side
If the answer you get is East and truth_indicater is equal to -1
then you are in the West side
else if the answer you get is East and truth_indicater is equal to 1
then you are in the East side
/Enjoy,
Kostas
BTW If I told you I was lying and I did not lie, did I say the truth?

| "If you lived on the opposite side of the city where you actually
live, what side of the city would you say we were in now?"
Answer is opposite of what you are told.

| 825.4 | Do you live here? | STAR::HEERMANCE | Martin, Bugs 5 - Martin 0 | Tue Feb 09 1988 12:43 | 16 |
| RE: .1
A gold star for you, thats the answer I was thinking of.
RE: .2
A bit complicated but your logic was fine. I like your BTW it
was a nice touch.
Re: .3
I like your answer better than my own. It's more like the answer
to a similar puzzle involving a liar and a truth teller.
