    If the goal was to find out which one is which, you would need one more question

    “Would the other guard identify you as the liar if asked?”

    The liar will deny it while the other guard will anticipate the liar’s answer and say yes.

      I meant “if the goal was also to find out which one is which,” sorry; meaning that you’ve already asked the classic question. But yes, that would also be a great way to figure it out.
