Guard 2 has evidently told a lie to, or possibly about, Guard 1. Guard 1 is mad, and the “riddle” is Guard 1’s passive-aggressive way of letting everyone, especially Guard 2, know about it. In other words, the point of the riddle is to call Guard 2 a lying liar who only tells lies with their liar’s tongue. Guard 1 has probably been riddling people like this all watch long.

If guard 1 is lying (and we can’t be sure he isn’t) then the truth of guard 2’s statements can’t be determined.

@4 The solution to the riddle is to ask one guard what the other would say, that way you can guarantee your answer is a lie. Make sure that your question has only two possible answers and you’re good to go.
What? I don’t get whatever the point is supposed to be.
Ha!
