You come to a fork in a road, with two people there. One will always tell the truth, the other will always lie. You do not know which one, and one of the paths is deadly. What question do you ask? Ask one of them what the other person will say which path to choose. If the truth teller is chosen, he will show the deadly path to show where the liar would have sent you. The liar will say the same thing, but to say a lie to what the truth-teller would have said.

A black hole can, under certain circumstances shrink. What are these circumstances?
When 'virtual particles' pop into existence near a black hole, they can draw on energy from the black hole to become real (often they get sucked in). Because it draws on the energy of the black hole, the hole loses mass. This is called Hawking radiation, although the theories leading to this theory were developed by Jacob Bekenstein, which has lead to it sometimes being called Bekenstein-Hawking radiation.
What do these acronyms from Doctor Who mean?: TARDIS, CIA, UNIT, SIDRAT.
