    Now that you got a yes or a no, and you can't ask anymore questions... how do you get to the nation you want to get to?

    Ask him where he lives. If he's telling the truth, he'll point to the nation you want to get to. If he's lying, he'll point the same way, because he doesn't live in that nation.

    There is a barrel which doesn't have a top and has wine in it. Mike argues that the barrel is more than half full. Jordan argues that it's less than half full.

    With no means of measuring, while leaving all the wine in the barrel, how to they figure out who is right?

    They tap the barrel, and based on the noise it makes, they can determine if it's more or less than half-full.

    And no Dementia, it's not a matter of perspective. Because when something is MORE or LESS than Half-Full, then it's no longer a matter of perspective, but a matter of reality.

    Didn't say you coudn't touch the barrel...so...
    Assume you kinda. push it over a bit...but just to the point the wine doesn't like fall out.

    You shoudn't be able to see the bottom circle bit of the barrel if it's more then half full...I think.

    So if you can see any of the bottom of the barrel, then it's less then half full.

    Keke?
