"You start to feel weak, and it is then that you realize the dagger was poisoned. You know that one of the men stood before you was the one who betrayed you, and as Caesar you must not convict the wrong man and let Rome fall into the hands of a dangerous psychopath. Both of the men know who did it, but at the same time you know that one of the men "can only tell the truth", whereas the man you want "tells nothing but lies". As you begin to feel even weaker, you realize that you have only the breath left for a single, whispered, question."

What single question could you ask one of the men, to reveal the truth? (HINT: There is a simple question that works - think logically!!! )
