Reading girlygirls post, brought to mind something similar, its old, and i'm sure some of you must have heard it before, but?????.


Imagine you are a prisoner, you are taken to a place where there are two doors, One door will lead to freedom, the other to certain death. Guarding each door is a guard, one guard will always tell the truth, the other guard will always tell lies.


You are told. to get out of the right door, you must ask one guard, one question.


Remember, one guard, one question. What is the question?.

Question Author
The Answer to the original is,
You have to assume that both guards tell lies, then you say to one of them, doesn't matter which, 'If I ask your mate which is the door of freedom, which one would he say', then whatever the answer, you go out the other.

Reason-------------If you ask the liar, he'd lie anway, and if you ask the one that tells the truth, he'd be telling the truth by lying.
