Providing an answer wouldn't solve the issue:
First case: The answer is correct and you can follow the logic. At best the omniscient guy ends up as a genius in your view and not as an omniscient.
Second case: The answer is correct but you cannot follow the logic. You will say: who knows if the answer is correct?
Third Case: The answer is incorrect and you cannot follow the logic. Just like case two.
Fourth case: The answer is incorrect and you can prove it, but you cannot prove if the omniscient guy did give the incorrect answer intentionally.
Fifth case: The answer is correct, you accept the logic but this wouldn't even show that he can answer the next question, so even if he would answer 50 trillion questions, who knows if he is really omniscient?
Conclusion: You can only know if someone is omniscient or not ,when you are omniscient.
