Day 317 of Living Gratefully

Math teacher Tony Asdourian illustrates the explanation to a logic puzzle he presented the first night of his continuing education class called Paradoxes and Contradictions. I'm taking the class along with my buddy Jeff and his best friend Tom. It's forcing us, and me in particular, to think in new ways!

 

I'm grateful for new ways of thinking. :)

If you're interested, here's the puzzle:

 

Peyton and Eli are standing at a fork in the road. You know that one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies, but you don't know which is which. You also know that one road leads to death and destruction, and the other leads to utopian freedom.

 

By asking one of them one yes/no question, can you determine the way to freedom?
