Directions Key words - yes? Never ask a question that can be answered �yes� (unless you have two people who always answer correctly and incorrectly, then that works). As the observation goes � if you have two people as above on a fork in the road, one always answers truthfully to the question while the other always gives the opposite answer to the question. As you don�t know which person answers correctly etc, what is the only question you can ask either of them to get the right answer? * Unless you meet these sorts of people (but how will you know?), NEVER ask a question regarding directions that can be answered �yes�. Yes could mean (1) that is the way to Al Hamra Street, (2) I don�t understand the question and I will look silly if I say no or (3) I don�t know but again I don�t want to appear of no help so I�ll say yes. So if your question �I want to go to Al Hamra Street� is answered �yes� then they don�t understand the question and you should move on. It is better to ask several people rather than expect the first answer to be correct and go off on a wild duck chase. * The only way to go down the right route is to ask the following question which works if directed to either person - "if I was to ask your friend here which route would he take, what answer would they give?" - it does work - try it. home
