A town has a set of twins (1 is notorious for lying and one for always telling the truth).
You come to the town and find yourself lost, then on reaching a crossroad.
You meet this set of identical twins,
By asking one question to either of the twins,
which question can you ask to enable you know which road is the right road to follow
(*NB knowing fully well that if you ask the lying one he will lead you astray)

I will ask "are u two twins?". From their answers, I'll be able to tell who d liar is

The answer cannot be you.

Who is the child to you? The child has to have a relationship with you.
You cannot have a relationship with yourself.

The question is silly and has no answer.
