A foreign sentry Knights, Knaves and Jokers  Weight: 5 Liked the puzzle: 100% 04.01.2010
You are standing at the road fork. One of the two roads leads to your destination, but you don't know which one. Fortunately, there is a sentry guarding the intersection. Unfortunately, the sentry can be a knight or a knave, moreover, he is a foreigner. He understands you, but when he responds, he says "uhh" or "err" meaning "yes" or "no", but you don't know what means what. He does not say anything else, and he is standing at attention, not being able to point in the right direction. On top of all this, the sentry is somewhat dumb, i.e. he cannot understand sentences longer than 13 words. You may ask a single question to figure out which way to go. Which question should you ask?
