A man is walking and on his way to Bristol. He comes to a fork in the road

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?
Scout

Does your brother always tell the truth?

Wouldn't help you Jon. You'd get an answer, but wouldn't know if it was
true, and then couldn't ask another.

Yup, you're right... doesn't work. Hmm... more thought required... :-)
