    The full setup is that they can both tell you about the setup, but for the One Question, they follow the rules stipulated. Neither is actually bound to always lie and always tell the truth outside of the One Question.

      Well yeah you can make anything work when the rules change on a whim

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

            Yes, the exact same thing said by the person you accused of changing the rules on a whim.

                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.
