Impossible right?

You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.
You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?

Televators is pretty straight forward. Maybe that's the only one.

Still love 'em.

I don't usually listen to neo-prog acts with overly white fanbases.

I would guess an acceptable amount for "neo-prog" acts would be 100% white, though. Expected even. So how can you be over 100%?

That's easy, the person can't obtain the truth from the liar, but can obtain a lie from the honest one if it's asked to each one what the other would say it's the path to paradise. The liar would lie about what the honest would say and point the wrong way and the honest would give the same answer pointing the path that the lie would tell. So chose the other path.

Actually it was like an hour long...after a while the singer began jumping and eating some weird paper lightings they had...after a while you couldnt know what was happening.
it wasnt bad, but it was good either.

Can anyone explain any Mars Volta song to me?
