Well then my way would still work. Send the 3 novices one direction, you go another. All return. If there are 2 people saying one thing thats the lie. If all 3 agree then the liars are choosing not to lie. And you do the same thing with the other 2 paths. Meet back and you should be able to tell with absolute certainty where morroc is and travel there in the last minute.
Oh and your wrong, Maces way is not 100%. For one he didn't say how he would split the novices but lets say it was 3,3,2. We know the liars can choose to lie or not so lets assume one of the 3's has 2 liars and the group of 2 made it to morroc. One of the liars decides to return and one doesn't. Now it will be impossible to know which path was right. As there are two groups that didn't return fully and if you asked them one could say the truth and other could lie and you couldn't tell the difference. This could all be solved if the player went with the group of 2 and came back but he didn't say that so its not an acceptable answer.
