I *think* the question to ask is 'if you were the liar, what
  would you say?'. You pick the opposite. Why? Because the truth
  teller, acting like the liar, would tell you the lie. The liar,
  compelled to always lie, would NOT tell you what the truth
  teller would say, so he will also lie. Since both answers are
  lies, you pick the opposite, which will be the Truth. Yes, logic
  smells bad but looks pretty. "
