Something I cooked up to test your logical thinking skills. Ask any question you feel you need to pertaining to the question.

Two brothers walk up to you.

Man 1 says "One of us tells lies"

Man 2 says "And one of us tells the truth".

Man one states an undeniable fact.

Which one lies, and which one tells the truth?

Determine all of what you know, don't think one has to tell lies and one has to tell the truth.

All I know? That's a very open-ended question! I fear that it wouldn't take as long to answer as I would hope Blush

In regard to the presented scenario, all you can deduce, logically, is that Man 1 has provided one 'truthful' statement on one occasion. Your example doesn't contain enough information to progress any further without a series of un/poorly-supported assumptions.

Sum ergo sum
