You must discover who is who, but you can only do so by making a single question that both will answer. What question must you make?
that is very old and widely known ....
you just ask to both what the other guy would answer to which choice is correct
truth guy thinks -> liar guy would pick wrong choice -> truth guy points to wrong choice
liar guy think -> truth guy would think correct choice -> but liar guy lies and points to the wrong one instead
therefore just pick the choice opposite to the one both indicated...
EDIT:
solve this:

The right answer is: Grab black hat and hold him hostage as you barrel your way out of the maze.

That puzzle is there to trip up the overthinkers. You aren't limited to one question, so it's very easy to ask basic questions of the three and figure out who is who.

How about a green and brown car? :)
My turn: What is it that you have as good as you could ever have, yet you are always trying to discover how the other ones are?
