Reference :- Here is the answer to the conundrum posed in the last post .

 Reference :-   Hopefully everybody found the conundrum a temporary  distraction from the most ghastly election campaign of the century .  

 Is this really the most ghastly election campaign of the century ?   The Sky Reply team informed me that they don't think so . 

" That is a silly thing to say . " , Ken junior said 

"It's actually the most ghastly election campaign in the history of the world . " , Monte said 

" No , it's the most ghastly election campaign since the dawn of time .  ",  Gabbo  said . 

" That's more like it . " ,  Ken junior said .

Well , regardless , here is the answer to the conundrum in the last post . 

 You must ask one of the people at the intersection the following question . 

 

"If I ask the other person  'Is the correct direction to the left ? ',  will they say yes or no ? '

If the person you asked is the liar , and he says " yes " ,  that means the other person , who tells the truth would actually have said "no" .  So the correct direction is to the right . 

If the person you asked tells the truth , and they answer  "yes " it means the the liar would say "yes " , which also means you must turn right .  

The same logic applies to a " no " answer , which would mean that you must turn left . 

Sadly this kind of logic can't be used during election campaigns , since politicians are incapable of answering questions with a simple "yes " or  "no "  .

Your comrade , Ken .
