Ok..Now let's see you,logic gguys resolving this question:
Let's assume that somewhere(on other planet??) there are 2 cities:a city with
honest people ,who NEVER lie,and a city with crooks,who NEVER TELL the TRUTH.
One day per year they are going to shoping to the other city,so they are all
mixed together in both cities.On the very same crazy day,a poor parachutist
jumped exactly in one of the two cities.The guy know he is in one of those
cities,but he doesn't know in which of them.Now THE BIG QUESTION is:What
question should he ask one of the people he sees,so he could deduce in which
city he is.Remember:The man he is asking could be a liar or a honest man.HE (the
parchutist) doesn't know it.

NOW,let's see your brains working!!
Livy. (I know the answer!!)
