If you pointed at the outcast and asked the Truthteller, "If I asked that man if the Truthteller village is to the East, would he answer 'Yes'?" then the only truthful response would be "I don't know."
So, I guess the only thing the Lieteller could do would be the opposite: "I know."
But assuming that you ask two people, you can be assured that one of them is not the outcast.
Let's assume that the truthtellers village does lie to the east. If you asked the person who always lies, they would say, "He would say it does not lie to the East". And if you asked the person who always tells the truth, he would say, "He would say it does not lie to the East."
If I were to pick the liar, and ask him how this person would answer that question (and happened to pick the castout), what would they answer?
Am I on the right vein here?
