You come to a fork in the road, where one path leads to the Village of Truthtellers, the other leads to the Village of Liars, where everyone always lies, but you don't know which path is which. There is a villager native to one of these villages at the fork, but you don't know which village he hails from, so you can't be sure if he's a liar or a truthteller.

By asking a single question, determine which path leads to the Village of Truthtellers.

Ask him which village he lives in. He will either tell the truth or lie, but he will always point to the truthtellers' village.

Yes, that is correct.

The riddle goes something like this. I don't remember exactly so i don't know the answer but you guys are smart enough to figure it out

There are 5 people on one side of the river. Each person has something they want to bring to the other side. The boat needs someone to steer it. The boat has a weight limit of 3 or it will sink.

People
Sailor-1
Boy-1-can't be left alone(unreliable)
Gardener-1
Butcher-2
Drunkard-2-can't be left alone(unreliable)

Cargo
Bird Bath-1
Bookshelf-2-needs someone reliable to stay with it
Wheelbarrow-2
Crate-1
Sapling-1-needs someone reliable to stay with it

How can you bring everything to the other side in the least amount of trips

I remember that one.
1) A baby crawls on all four in the "morning of life"
2) Walks on two as an adult
3) The walks all hunched over and with a cane (three legs) at the end of life.
