Published: Nov 30, 1999
Riddle: A traveler, on his way to Miami, reaches a road junction, where he can turn left or right.

Fortunately, he sees two twin-brothers standing at the road junction, and he decides to ask them for directions.
The traveler knows that one of the two brothers always tells the truth and the other one always lies. Unfortunately, he does not know which one always tells the truth and which one always lies.
