A couple of puzzlers

A man is driving to London but doesn't know the way and is following signposts. He comes to a fork in the road but there is no sign. He sees a man walking along and asks him which road leads to London. The man doesn't know but points to a house and says the occupants know. "Beware though," he says. "Identical twins live there and there's no way to tell which is which. One of them always tells the truth, the other always tells lies and they'll only answer one question."

What question should the man ask to find the correct road to London?

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Fred and Harry are dead! They are in a room with a table and two chairs. The room has a door which is locked and a window which is open only a few inches. The table is in front of the window with the chairs on either side. Fred and Harry are lying on the floor in front of the table surrounded by broken glass and water.

1. Who are Fred and Harry?

2. Who killed them?

3. How did they die?

Have fun but don't burn out a brain cell,
