PUZZLE: Fork in the Road - 2 [Humans Ville & Animals Town]
video description
If you're asking the truth-teller, he will give the liar's answer, which is a lie, right away.
If you're asking the liar, he will lie about the truth-teller's answer. So the answer will be a lie as well.
Here's one interesting solution: -If I ask you which way Humans Ville is, what would you say? -
The truth-teller will give a clear answer, but the liar will be tricked by the question's choice of words. He should've lied about -which way Humans Ville is-, but him lying WOULD be the RIGHT answer to the question. Lying means giving the wrong answer, and if lying is the right answer, the wrong answer is exactly the opposite, which is telling the truth.
So basically we made the liar lied about his own lying, which means telling the truth. This is why this solution is really interesting; it ACTUALLY FORCES a liar to tell the truth.
(YES, I ADMIT THIS IS ONE COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING EXPLANATION FOR A SIMPLE PUZZLE)

There's another solution to this riddle: Ask one of them: -If I were to ask you 'Is this the road to Humans Ville? ' Would you say 'Yes'-
If the road is the correct road then the truth-teller will say - Yes. And the liar will also say Yes (because If I were to ash him, he would say No.
And the same logic works if the road leads to the animals. Both will say No
The 'beauty' of this solution is that it can be used for a slightly different variation of the riddle: Where you only have one person standing at the fork in the road - but you don't know if he is a truth teller or a liar

I will ask any of them,
Infact the only one question is.
- If I ask the other guy in which direction the human villa is what he would answer? -
And he will give me the direction that the other guy would give me if I asked him the direction.
Then I will go to the opposite direction. Cause I know that's where the human villa is.
Think logically.
Edit: After watching the video.
I commented that before watching it. So please consider my thought.
If you want I can give more ways to this riddle.

Hi Ammar, what if those two persons don't know each other and still you are allowed to ask only one question of your choice but to only one of them?
I have a solution for that.
I will ask anyone of them Is it true that -(You are a truthful person and you live in the place1) or (You are a liar and you live in place2)-?
this whole was a question where two statements are added with -and- and then added with an -or-. place1 and place2 can be any of those two places as you choose.

In case we have the restriction that the persons don't know each other, we can have an alternative solution.
Ask anyone of them, pointing in any one direction, 'If I asked you whether this way leads to Humansville, would you say Yes? ', If the way indeed leads to Humansville, both of them would answer, 'Yes', otherwise, they would answer, 'No'.
Thanks a lot, man. It's after such a long stretch that I was able to solve any problem, completely on my own. Keep up the good work!

You can also ask -if I were to ask you that the path to the left leads to human ville would you say yes- if the path to the left led to the animal ville than the truthful person would say no because he wouldn't lie to you and the liar would say it led to human ville but since he has to lie no matter what he would lie and say he wouldn't say yes so eather way you get a conclusive answer. This question also works if the path did lead to human ville both would say yes

more direct way to find the humans ville is to ask -what would the other person say if i ask him/her where is animals ville? -
-if the person you ask this question is a liar, as he knows that the other person is telling only truth, he will show you the way to humans ville.
-if the person you ask the question is a truth teller, as he knows that the other person is telling only lies, he will show you the way to humans ville.

My question would be in which direction is the dangerous animal ville the truthful person will say yes the dangerous animal ville is in this direction so I'll go with the other direction and if the person i ask happen to be a lier he'll say the animal ville is in this direction and it's not dangerous at all so I'll know that he's lying hence I'll choose the other direction.
I don't know if it's correct or not what do you think?

This Answer might be logical.
As 2 persons are from human ville.
Go straight towards any road & ask any person a question directing to the road - Is this the way to Animal Town? -
+Ve person will say yes, then choose opposite route.
-ve person is lier hence he will answer as No, then go on that route.
Anyhow you'll reach human ville.
Simple!

Another unique solution is:
-Please correct me if I am EVER mistaken, where from these 6 paths will lead to Humans VIlle? -
Since there are only two paths,
If the stranger corrects you, he is saying the truth and you can trust him.
If the stranger does not correct you, trust the opposite of the path he directs you.
Easy

Isn-t it supposed to be, what would the other person say is the way to animal kingdom? Also couldn-t you ask this question: who wants me to whoop their ass all over the place, by telling me false info about which way is human and which way is animal kingdom. When they see the side of me they will both say ok human ville is that way.

As a path finder we know one is lier and other is truth Sayer. But these guides also should know their counterpart is negator of him. Hence accordingly he will give reply of other. Therfore in problem condition is both aware of each other (lier or truer)

The solution given in this video is invalid. Using the question given in the video the person is answering in the opposite, all you have done is inverted the answers and both outcomes would exists, with no way to discern the difference.

Take a rock and throw it at one of the guards to knock them out. When he is unconscious, ask the one who is awake if he is awake or not. You now know which guard is telling the truth. When the other wakes up, ask where the human town is.

According to conditions the question must be asked to any one of the guy and not both. But the solution to this is contradiction to the condition as the same question has been asked to two different people

If one -always lies- and the other is honest, then just ask them what color your shirt is.
But this is a fun philosophical topic to talk about. Hopefully they aren-t color blind

This puzzle is unfair because it only works if the two people know the other is opposite to them. In other words, what the person believes about the other person will change their answer.

A further complication to this puzzle is that you can ask only one question to only one of them to solicit an answer either -yes- or - no- and there is no signpost as well.
