A man arrives at a FoRK in the road. One path leads to happiness and
bliss, the other to all things bad and evil. He must make a choice. There
are three people to help him in such. One is known to be a truth-teller
who will always speak the truth. One is a liar who will only speak
lies. The third is an equivocator who will sometimes speak the truth and
sometimes not. The man does not know who is who. He is allowed to ask 2
questions. He can ask them of 2 separate people or both to the same
person. He must then make his choice. What should the questions be???
