      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)

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

      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.
