where all the inhabitants know whether Atlantis is still
around or not.

and they all use a spell to appear humanoid so you cannot
tell which is which. And the Faries always tell the truth

always lie and some of the Trolls have also gone insane and
always tell the truth.

you come to ONE question and from that ONE question you must
determine wether Atlantis is still around or not.
