Imagine you are travelling on a dusty path in a thick forest.
The path diverges into two, and you have the information that
one of these leads to certain death, and the other leads you to
your destination. But which is which, you haven't a clue.
Fortunately you have Raghu and Rajiv standing on the
junction to guide you. You also know beforehand that one of
them always speaks the truth and the other is a consistent liar.
But which is which, you haven't a clue. You are allowed to
frame ONE AND ONLY ONE question, that both shall answer

victuals for the descendants of Manu (or
Adam?) thriving within the ambit of this didactic
establishment.
 Question 9

I am clad all in shades of clementine
I solve mysteries that seem surreal
With the help of a rather jittery canine
Who am I?
