You are on you way to the city (to get some food and fun).

At some point in time the road splits itself and you have to stop. You don´t know which way to go.

After waiting some time two identical twin sisters come down the road. You recognize them and remembers that one always tells the truth, while the other always lies.

What ONE question would you ask to know which way to go to the city ?

< no, you did NOT bring a lie detector ;-) >

    Ask either twin "Which path would your twin tell me to take to get to the hospial?". Then go down the other path from the one they indicate.

    Reasoning:

    If the twin you ask is the truth-telling twin, he will know the other twin lies and will point you in the wrong direction, so will point the wrong way.

    If the twin you ask is the one who always lies, he will also point you in the wrong direction (the direction the truth-telling twin would NOT have told you to go in).
