Violence is always the answer

You can ask both guards if an item is an item. "Does this cup contain fluid" would work, it doesn't have to be a dead guy.
-
and also, using "correct path" instead of "right path" will be less confuzzling because english words can have multiple meanings and are the dumb.
-
Wouldnt they instead keep pointing like clockwork towards different doors seeing that they would have to adjust for the other guard?
-
You should even specify “path to the castle”, because there isn’t _technically_ a “correct” path.yeah, it could be the liar guard's desire or prin to send you down the deadly path. to him that could be interpretated as the correct path. especially if these are automatons working off of some machine logic. like, they don't even need to be out to get you, that's totally something that bad code could do on accident.

That's funny! but if you want to know how to solve this problem every time, even when asking one single question, just ask this question: "If I ask the other guy which is the correct path, which path will he tell me?" No matter who you ask, both of them will point to the WRONG path, meaning the correct one is the one they DIDN'T point to. Here is the logic. For the sake of argument, let's assume the correct path is the right path. When you ask that question, if the person is the truthful one, he will be honest and say the left path. Because if you ask the liar what the right path is, he will say it is the left path (which is false). Now if you ask the liar what the other guy will say the correct path is, he will lie to you and say it is the left path (which is also false, the truthful one will tell you it is the right path and not the left).

But they would have to keep adjusting since they both have to answer acco4ding to what the other one saysThe question we ask if "What would the other guard say if I asked him which door is the good one?" Liar says Bad Door Truther says Bad Door Now, for their answers to update, they would have to ne answering the question, "Which door would the other guard say if I asked him 'Which guard would the other guard say is the good door?'" We want a guard to answer "What would the other guard say is the good door?" Regardless of how they answer our "outer" question, the answer to the "inner" question ("which is the good door?") doesn't change. Liar doesn't care that Truther would say that "Liar would say the right door is the good one," Liar is being asked how Truther would answer "Which door is the good one". I know I basically just said the same thing three times. My brain isn't working to break this out the elegant way I can't quite assemble. But hopefully some part of all this helps. The crux is that the question that they are imagining the other guard's answer to is not the same question they themselves are being asked.
