I do not think so.
The sentence: Would you say that France is better than Germany at skiing? Does not mean that you're actually saying the words, "that France is better than Germany at skiing".
Say is not always taken literally. See the third definition here.

Yes as a verb is a word used to express affirmation. Yes as a noun is the affirmative reply.
So "Would you say yes?" means "Would you opine in affirmatively?"

Exactly what I wrote.
However, if you want to hear or read the word, "Yes". You would have to write it accordingly or else it will mean "would you opine in affirmatively?" or as I put it "would you agree?"
The logic to make the contrary solution viable, mandates : would you say, "yes"?

I believe I have seen this before and sorry if you guys have already came to an agreement but I'm going to through my $.02 out there anyway haha
I believe that the correct question is this
Approaching either of them (if you don’t know what one is which) and ask would the other one tell you to walk through door A or B (you would choose which every door you please) if he/she says yes or no which ever answer he/she gives you, you would do the opposite of that and be saved!
Example you approach the Liar and ask would he/she (the truth teller) tell me to go through door A or B (just pick one) the lair would tell you that the other would tell you to go to the door that brings you to hell. If you did the opposite of that you would be saved!
Example 2 you approach the truth teller and ask would he/she (pointing the lair) tell me to go through door A or B (pick one) the true teller knowing the intent of the lair would tell you the door that brings you to hell. Pick the opposite and you’re saved
