Riddle 022: On the Open Road

[Standard Drone Filter in Play]

A question for all of you, Mayfield---and yes, it's most certainly a topical one.

A driver comes to a fork in the road and doesn't know which way to go to reach his destination. There are two men at the fork, one of whom always tells the truth while the other always lies. The driver doesn't know which is which, though. He may ask one of the men only one question to find his way. Which man does he ask, and what is the question?

There are questions you should be asking yourselves, as well, you know. Where did this highway come from, all of a sudden? Where does it truly lead to? And why would our dear friend Officer Grady be so insistent that we stay off the roads? Could this be a way out of Mayfield?

[He chuckles, self-assuredly.]

I'll admit, these questions certainly are fascinating. And I'm sure the answers will be found. Besides---at a fork in the road, who would you be more willing to get answers from? A man who only tells lies? Or a man who always tells the truth?

Someone like Officer Grady? Or someone like Edward Nigma?

I intend to hold a little gathering of the minds this Sunday to try and get to the bottom of all this. The choice to attend is yours, of course. Still---if you'd like to be educated, you know where to find me. Though, again, to those of you who joined me last month, you'd be interested to know that I don't intend to hold another meeting in the same place twice. I have far too much class, after all.

You have too much 'class' and you're offering an education~? Do I get to cheat and ask which school you'll be holding this at?

Now, now, it wouldn't be a challenge if I gave you the answer straightaway, would it? Besides---I have a low tolerance for cheaters.

[Takes one to know one, Edward.]

So what are the rules of your game, then~?

Simple, really. I pose the questions, you find the answers.

Every game has its rules.

My desire is to bring the higher order of Mayfield to its knees. If you intend to challenge those authorities, we carry out action against the drones and the drones alone.

You most certainly have my attention. I'd be happy to work with you~.

The more the merrier.

Be there, Sunday at nine.

I look forward to it, then~.
