A man is walking and on his way to Bristol. He comes to a fork in the
road
where two brothers are standing. He is uncertain which path to take to
reach
Bristol, and needs help from one of them. The walking man has heard of
these
brothers, and knows that one always tells the truth, and the other always
lies. The walking man is allowed to ask one question and one question
only.
He can direct the question to only one of the brothers, but he does not
know
which is the liar and which is always truthful. What question does he
ask?

Does your brother always tell the truth?

How about, is that your brother?

that would confirm the liar vs the honest bro, but you'd be out of
questions!
