    The tragedy being that despite being married to him, she still doesn’t know which one he is.

      no, because this one is obviously lying, so the other one tells the truth. (or as the riddle is normally solved, you know the answer is false because no matter which you ask, they’ll end up giving you the wrong answer)

        you would know what the real answer that way, but shouldnt the lying guard still answer with a no just because the truth guard would answer with a yes?

              that would require reading which, obviously my brain decided wasn’t required in this thread. :(

      And then she’d know that something happened. Because if he’s the liar, that means the other one would truthfully say “yes, something happened”. And if he’s the one who tells the truth, that means he just said “the liar would tell you ‘no’”.

      It’s the same riddle.

      I guess she don’t know if she got the one that lies or the one that tells the truth.
