Suppose there are twin brothers, one which always tells the truth and one which always lies. (So in this case they both know what is true and false, or as you put it, both are accurate in their knowledge.) What one yes-no question could you ask to either one of the brothers to figure out which one he is?

Common Wrong Answers

Would your brother say you are the liar?

This question does not work because the truth-teller would say 'no' (indicating he is not the liar), while the liar would also say 'no' (lying about his brother being the liar). Both responses would be the same, providing no useful information.

Are you the truth-teller?

If you ask the truth-teller this question, he would say 'yes,' and if you ask the liar, he would also say 'yes' (lying about being the truth-teller). This question does not differentiate between the two brothers.

Is your brother a liar?

This question fails because the truth-teller would answer 'yes' (truthfully stating that his brother is a liar), while the liar would also say 'yes' (lying about his brother's nature). Again, both would give the same response, leaving you without a clear answer.
