>>If the road leads to the honest village and this is the honest person, he would answer "Yes"
>>
>>If the road leads to the honest village and this is a liar, he knows, that this road leads to the honest village. If I ask him: "Does this road leads to the honest village?" - he would answer "No". However, I ask: "What do you answer on this question?". He would answer "No", but since he allways lies, he now should answer "Yes" - it's a double negative.

>>
>>However, the simpler solution would be just ask: "Do you live in this village?" and show it either direction. I let you follow the logic in this case by yourself.

The same question as the above.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
