Is the gypsy guard guaranteed to reply to straightforward questions honestly? If so, ask all three who the liar is so I can identify him. Two out of three guards should give me the same answer.
What's the point of this anyway? Finding out which entrance to go through?

I don't know for sure if asking that or any other simple questions would bring me anywhere though, since the amount of information/knowledge the guards have and their ability to perceive things (such as color, honesty, etc.) is not specified.
Maybe asking the gypsy guard what color my t-shirt is would get me stabbed as a result of him being daltonic.

What is the objective of this task? Get information from the truthful guard? Be let into the labyrinth? Are they blocking the entrance? Anyways ...

Ask each one of them a simple yes/no question which you can be sure all of them will agree on. The stabbing guard can either lie or tell the truth. You will see that two of the guards submit the same answer, and one of them has to be the stabbing guard, hence you can safely ask the remaining guard that had the unique answer any question to figure out if he is lying or not.

Alternatively, ask them to ask each other the question that gets you the answer (i forget), if that's allowed

I take a big stinking shit in front of them, and throw shit all over them. The ones guarding the wrong doors will leave to seek clean air and water, while the guard in front of the right door won't leave his post. No talky needed.

>assuming tricky guard isnt a dickhead, ask all 3 which way to go, and then go the way that two of them told you to go.
Probably only works if you ask the trick guard first. Once you move on to the 2nd guard to ask that question, I'm sure it counts as "tricky".
