What question must you ask to ensure you choose the road to heaven?
you have to ask one of them what the other one would say.
If he lies, he knows the other guy would tell the truth, so he'd say the other path.
If he tells the truth, he'd know the other would lie, so he'd tell you the other path.

Which ever path either one says.... it's wrong, take the other path.
