      When you are literally making the rules yes. It’s a riddle. There’s no “real world application” here.

        Yeah so the real full setup is that both of the guards can lie exactly once and only when asked the proper question to elicit their lie.

              The “real” ones. I guess those are the rules “real” guards use in real life?

              It’s a riddle. The rules are whatever suits the riddle being presented.
