I won't spend too much time on the setup, since it's mostly familiar. There are two roads, one leads to safety, one to certain death. Standing next to the roads there are a republican and a democrat. The republican is wrong 30% of the time but never lies, and the democrat lies 70% of the time, but is never wrong. You may ask one question to each of them. How do you find out the correct path?
This is an old one. Its something like: What would the other one say.
