Puzzle 1: You are wandering around in the desert and are
exhausted. You meet a nomad and ask him for the way out.
There are only two choices to pick: either go to the left or to the right. One way leads to an oasis and the other way is "the road to death".
However, the nomad is a liar and you cannot trust him. But you know for certain that he is systematically lying:
If he lies on one day, he will not lie the following day and vice versa. You can ask him only one question and he will answer with "yes" or "no".
