The Trouble With Twins

There's a male set of identical twins in our year of med. When I say identical, I truly mean identical. I don't mean Caitlyn and Laura identical. While they're "identical" in the genetic sense of the word perhaps, I feel it is obvious to anyone which one is Laura and which one is Caitlyn (except to that one guy at uni who called Laura Caitlyn). This male set of twins, however, are well and truly identical.

One of them is in my FCP tute. The other I have never met. I was walking around outside social sciences today, trying to find my tute room. I saw one of the twins standing next to a map, clearly looking for his room. I awkwardly looked at the map from behind him. I wasn't sure if I should say anything or if I should just assume it was the twin I'm familiar with and then have a laugh about it later if it wasn't or something to that effect.

Anyway. Some few awkward moments passed until he became aware of me lingering at his posterior. He glanced back. I said, "Any idea where our tutes are?" He responded with the negative with a sunny disposition nonetheless. We walked through part of social sciences for a while in this sort of together, sort of not, altogether borderline awkward way. I eventually asked a couple for directions and it turns out we were in the wrong building altogether.

My question to you is this: what should I have done?
