You are driving your car and you come to a fork in the road.
One way is life
One way is death.
You do not know which is which
There are twin identical brothers standing at the Y in the road, who both know what road to take to life and what road to take to death.
One ALWAYS tells the truth.
One ALWAYS lies
You do not know which is which
You get one question to ask either brother, from that answer you will know which road to take to life.
What is the question??
(You can not ask compound questions!! or turn your car around or any of that bullshit. It's life or death.)

It's simple. You ask one which road is life and the other which is death. They will both tell you the same road. Now the based on which one answered what from which road your able to figure out what road is life and which is death. Bad explanation but that it.

My bad I read it wrong. I saw it as one question to each brother. So your saying the same question to each brother.

Ask either brother if the other one is his twin:D :D

^^^ I am with you there. They are obviously twin brothers, so you ask either one "Is this your brother" If he says "no" he is the liar, if he says yes he is the truthful one.
