Brain teasers

It is correct:

Let's pretend the path to canibal tribe is A and the path to the gentle tribe is B.

A canibal would say path B leads to the canibal tribe, a gentle would say A.

If you ask a canibal what a second canibal woud say, the first would say A (which a lie, as a canibal would say B as we have seen).
If you ask a gentle what a gentle would say, he would say A.

So you follow the other path, B.

It's not correct.

Assuming:

Canibals - A
Goodies - B

if you ask a canibal (who lies) where would he point to the canibal tribe, he would point B, because he knows it's A, but as he lies, he'll tell you B.
If you then go to A, you're toasted...

But I'm not asking a canibal where he would point. I'm asking a canibal where a canibal would point. As this works as binary, lying over a lie gives me the truth.

Or I'm asking a gentle where a gentle would point. Two truths also give me the truth.

By this point, whichever tribe the man on the T belongs to, I know which is the path to the canibal tribe, so I wouldn't follow it.

OK your right.

I would have asked him:

Which way to your village?

Then follow his direction

You can also ask, "What would a member of the other tribe tell me if I asked him for the way to the cannibals?"

The gentle guy would say B because he knows that the cannibal would lie.
The cannibal would also say B because the gentle one would say A.

So you are guaranteed to get the wrong answer.

Interesting that the riddle has two solutions. I only knew about this one until now.

A man was found dead in the park.
Next to him lies a pakkage, unopend.
If he had opened it he would still be alive.
What is the couse of death?

[JP Simões]

Did the package contain some sort of medicine the man needed to take?

[Divine]

There is an unopened parachute in the package.

There is an unopened parachute in the package.

That seems to me a right answer (but I don't know if this is the answer requested).
