Can you solve this riddle?

Can you get this riddle? It took me forever!

A man is driving to town and comes to a fork in the road. One road leads to the town and the other road leads off a cliff. There is a man on each side of the fork. One man always lies, and the other always tells the truth. However, the man driving doesn’t know which is which. He can ask one question that they both must answer, and he has to get to town. What is the question?

I will post the answer after a few guesses :)

Answer #1

pls tell the answer

Answer #2

“If I were to ask you if this is the way I should go, would you say yes?” While asking the question, the hiker should be pointing at either of the directions going from the fork.

Answer #3

You ask, “Which way would your companion say is the correct path?”. The liar would lie tell you that the truthful man would say to go down the wrong path. The truthful man would tell the truth and say that the liar would tell you to go down the wrong path. They both point to the wrong path, so then the alternate is the proper path.

Answer #4
