The post that was quoted here has been removedSo you find yourself on Island #1 and you approach one of the citizens and ask what day it is , knowing it's Tuesday, and they say Saturday, that isn't a clue they are a liar? Oh wait I suppose they may just be having a "seniors" moment so it's best to ask a 20 something who isn't sitting on a porch strumming a banjo and starring off into space.

Ask what day it is.
I'm not sure if this is possible. No matter what question you ask them, if they are telling the truth you will get one answer and the opposite if they are lying. It's a bit like a simultaneous equation with only one equation instead of two. No reference point.
