Q:
How to tell when Slynky's Lying
A:
His lips move 
You are travelling through a region you have never before been in, attempting to fine the village on the other side. You do know that 2 tribes live in the region. One tribes always tells the truth. The second tribe always lies. You come to a fork in the road. at the fork, a member of each tribe is standing. You know they are from different tribes, yet you don't know which is which. Since language is not a barrier, how do you ask for directions & be sure of the results?

A number of ways (well possible questions)...here's one: Ask the first tribe which fork to take and then ask the second tribe if the first one asnwered his question. If the second tribe says yes, then the first tribe is the liar. (and vice versa).
