Tthe supposedly "world's hardest riddle" was pretty lame so here's the hardest riddle I've ever read.
____________
A man was traveling to a town and comes to a fork in the road. If he went left he goes to liars village. If he went right he then goes to the village of truths, which is where he wants to go. However, he does not know which way is which.
He doesn't have time to go both routes so he approaches a stranger that is standing in the middle of the fork.
The stranger says he may only ask 3 questions and he would answer them.
So the man asks, "Are you from the village of truths?"
The stranger says, "Yes!" However, the man is still facing a dilemma if the stranger was from the village of truths he can only tell the truth, but if he was from the village of liars he would say he was from the village of truth.
So then he asks the stranger, "Are you telling the truth?" The stranger says, "Yes!" But sadly this leaves the man in the same position as before.
Can you figure out what he must ask?
Please do not give away the answer in your post after you've read this, but give your best guess.
