#1: What social life? My social life is limited to my girlfriend! :)

#2: FoR, go over it in your head. Go through all the options; you ask the liar the question and point the right way, what does he answer? What if you're pointing the right way? What if you're asking the truth-speaker and pointing the right way? Wrong way? It's just a matter of sorting through all the possibilities one at a time. (For the record, the answer I gave isn't the 'real' answer; there's an easier way. :) My way is hard. Ignore me!)

There's an easier way?

Your answer is almost identical to the one I know, except that the question isn't "Is it the right way?" but "Which way?" if you catch my drift.

Notice how I haven't actually given anything away... ;)

"what would your brother say the way to the oasis is ?"

And you take the other way.

If you had asked the one who lies he would know his brother tell the right way but he has to lie, hence indicates the wrong way.

If you asked the brother who tells the truth, he knows the his brother would lie and indicate the wrong way. As he cannot lie he would indicate his brother's answer and show the worng way.

Knowing the wrong way, you know the right one !!

It goes all back to primary boolean logic :

FALSE x TRUE = TRUE x FALSE = FALSE

catch the drift ?
