A Riddle..........

here is a riddle.

you are in a corridor with two doors and no windows, there are two guards in front of the doors.
one of the doors when opened causes instant death and the other is just an exit.
one of the guards can only tell the truth the other can oly tell lies.
you have only ONE question to ask.

what question do you ask to find out which door it is?

happy mind exploding!

I would just go iney, miny, miney, moe then if it is wrong well, I would DIE

Edit: Wouldnt work.. nm..

no, no, no, wait, I would look at the color of there skin, then I would ask what color is your skin, the one who lies is the good door.. mabyee

wrong!!

Give up yet?

Cant give up so soon.

It's going to be something painfully obvious though, I can feel it. All the questions I have wouldnt work because theyd just point at the others' door.

Right thats what I am sayin. I will never give up, and dont tell me. I like to dwell on it for a few days

I would ask them which door would they go in

I would ask them which door would they go in?

but what if you were asking the liar?

The liar would point to the door he wouldnt go in, which would be the bad door and the truthful person would point to the good door... so you'd get both answers.. gotta be one question that gets the same answer.. or one question that determines which is the liar and also points out the doors.

I would stand in the middle and just ask the question, I wouldent direct it to eather one.

I love confusing stuff

mediocrity, you are getting close

I would say lier how do I get home. then go in the oppasite door

but you dont know which one the liar is!

also no-one responds if you dont point it at someone

you didnot say that. well that messes it all up

thats like wasting a question by telling the wall what you ask

You ask one guard (either one) which door the other guard would tell you to go through if you asked him. Then go through the other door.

ok so I am a retard,

You ask one guard (either one) which door the other guard would tell you to go through if you asked him. Then go through the other door.

WELL DONE!!!!!!!

either one would point to the death door, and so the other door is the living exit!!

well done and congrats to you.

chris

P.S. can any1 else post a riddle

edit: disregard... its all finished now :P

oh cmon I wanted to think about for a while longer, Thanks Jay!!!!!

I've got a good one but it's a bit X-rated so i think i'll pass :icon16:

Guard 1
Guard 2

Door A

You ask 1 if 2 would say it was door A
And ask 2 if 1 would say it is door A

i.e., if door a was the right door and 2 was the liar then
Guard 1 = yes
Guard 2 = no (liar)

You ask 1 if 2 would say its the door, he says no
You ask 2 if 1 would say its the door, he says no

Thank You, got me really thinkin',

These are not as complex as the first,
But they're the first ones I found,
