You find yourself on a mysterious island with two paths: one leads to freedom, while the other leads to certain doom. At the fork in the road, you encounter two guardians. One guardian always tells the truth, and the other always lies, but you don’t know which is which.
You are allowed to ask only one question to one of the guardians to determine which path leads to freedom. What question do you ask, and how does it help you identify the correct path?
Hint: Think about the perspectives of both the truth-teller and the liar when framing your question.
