Ask if he's a man or woman.  If he says he's a man he must be telling the truth.  Then tell him to show you the way to fame and riches.  If he says hes a man go the opposite way.

I have the answer... fork();

here's my explanation,

Since it's a forked path, the only logical solution is fork();!! w00t!

herez tha breakdown:

$ fork()?
sh: fork()?: invalid command
$ oopz!
sh: oopz!: invalid command
$ echo "#include <stdio.h>main() { fork(); }" > fork-iz-duh-anzwer.c
$ gcc -o fork-anzwer fork-iz-duh-anzwer.c
$ ./fork-anzwer
$ wwwhhhoooooaaaaaa lagggyyyyy (seee immm tellllinn theee trutthhh)

as you can see, it got laggy. I ended up telling the truth. Take the right (right, not left) path.

Hahaha!

GG, c0n wins the prize.

Since no one has gotten the answer, I'm going to post it.

The answer is:

If I were to ask you if this is the correct path, what would you say?

Now the question is... can you explain the answer? :)

If he always told the truth...he would tell the truth.
If he always lied he would lie about lieing.  IE "Yes" would be a lie because he would lie (because he always lies), and he would have normally said "No", which would have been a lie because it is.

But then you live the rest of your life wondering if he was lying or telling the truth, and you become so obsessed with it you kill yourself. This riddle sucks, it should be to find out if he always lies or not. Only then will there be world peace.
