Title: A lil Friday Riddle
Post by: Lori_Cryptonetix on August 18, 2017, 11:31:25 AM
You are a prisoner in a room with two guards. Before you are two doors. One leads to death, one leads to freedom. One guard always answers true, the other guard always lies. You get ONE question to ONE guard ONLY to determine which is the safe door. What question do you ask?

You ask a guard to go through one of the doors?

I'll ask the guard who lies a lot to one door if this is the door. He'll say it is, then is isn't, if he said no, then it is.

If you asked the truth-guard, the truth-guard would tell you that the liar-guard would point to the door that leads to death.
If you asked the liar-guard, the liar-guard would tell you that the truth-guard would point to the door that leads to death.
Therefore, no matter who you ask, the guards tell you which door leads to death, and therefore you can pick the other door.

I'll ask one guard if he is strong enough to open one of the doors. Basic. Hahahahaha
