[Helmut Walle]

I see a very simple way of asking, too. And yes, it's basic logic. But even that simple way involves asking a contingent question, in order to deal with our ignorance regarding the question which sister is the liar. I do appreciate that we don't even have to determine who is lying. But at the very least we have to eliminate it, and that is exactly what creates the need for a question that I would see as contingent. 

Kind regards, Helmut.
