Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

ALthough there are no signs.
I would ask "That sign over there, that points to truth town, does it point in the correct direction?" The man from lie town say "Yes it is correct." I would go the other way.
The man from truth town would say "There is no sign, but it is the right way to truth town."
I am sure it is not the right answer, but at least it is creative. :)

Victoria, that does not work!
Truth: Points to Lie town
Lie: Points to truth town
So it doesn't work
And jstkdn, creative, but not right...

I'd ask him "where's the town you came from?" If he is from Lie Town, He points to Truth. If he is from Truth town, he points to Truth.

Ok another creative and right one.
"Which road do you take to go home?"
Truth: would point to his road
Lie: would also point to the truth road.

But what if he answers, I don't have home, which would also be a lie. So that can't be right either.

Or he could point to the road you came from. And you would be no step further either.
