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.

CileTheSane · 2Y

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

some_guy · 2Y

No with his setup there’s different rules. My rules are the real ones

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.
