There are 2 roads, one going to Manchester, one going to Liverpool. You don't know which road is which and you want to go to Manchester.
At the intersection there are two people going to both places. One of them lies, one of them tells the truth. You're only allowed to ask one question to each and it has to be the same question. How do you get to Manchester?
You ask "which way will the other guy tell me is the way to Manchester?"
Pick the opposite route from what he said.

Ask them, "Which way to Manchester?"
One will point to one of the paths, and the other will point back towards the road where you came from.
Problem solved.
