A Timeless Question of Two Roads and Two Guards


I'm reminded of this timeless question. One road leads to hell, and another to great riches. At the gate to these two roads stand two guards, nearly identical. One will always lie, although the listener may identify much that is urbane, making social sense. The other guard will tell the truth, but bumbles and stumbles as a bad liar. You get to email a guard, and have the reply "That road will lead to a free ute, mate." The question is, which of the two guards is Kevin Rudd, and which is Wayne Swan?

a variant;
which of the two guards is Obama, and which is Biden?
