YT2095 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 ask each what color socks or other arbitrary clothing/item easily verifiable that they`re wearing or have on them that`s different. the rest will be easily established after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth tater Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Pointing to either of the paths, turn to either of the twins and ask: "if I were to ask you if this is the right path to my destination, what would you say?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callipygous Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 nice tater, also, "which path would your brother say is right?" will get either of them pointing at the wrong path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 ask each what color socks or other arbitrary clothing/item easily verifiable that they`re wearing or have on them that`s different. that would be a waste of your one question. this is an oldy!

BenSon Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Ask them what path they would have told you to go down yesterday they will both point to the correct path Wasn't this in throught the looking glass or something? ~Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
