    Pro tip:

    Instead of: “Is this the road to the wizard?”

    Ask: “Are you the kind of person who could claim this is the road to the wizard?”

    The truth-teller and liar will both give the same answer.

      Except they were both lying about their lying abilities and can lie or tell the truth whenever they want

        Or they can decide to lie or tell the truth, but a mysterious curse forces them to do the opposite as they go to form the words.

        Not sure Nelson Goodman had a general solution for that one.

      I’ve heard this in terms of “doors” so couldn’t you just ask “are you a door?” The liar has to say no

      Edit: nevermind, I forgot you only get one question lol
