Whoever answers this, with no cheating. Is guaranteed to get 2 credits from me. :P

Here we go:

Your in the center of a room. At each end of the room there is a door. There is one guy guarding each of these doors. One guy always tells the truth no matter what. The other always lies no matter what. Behind one door is paradise. Behind the other a man eating lion. You want the door that leads to paradise. You are only allowed to ask one question. What question lets you know for sure what door paradise is behind?

Ask the man who always lies if paradise is behind his door.

But how would you know who is the one who's lying and who is the one who's telling the truth? :0o

I KNOW!! <br>I think...<br>Ask both men which door the other person will tell you to go through, the liar will think "The other man will tell the truth, and say the right door, so i'll say the wrong door" The true man will think "The liar will say to go through the wrong door." THEN choose the other door, leading to to PARADISE!

Close. But not there yet since you only get to ask one of them. Just re-phrase that. :P

By the way, there's two answers to this question. I came up with the other one myself *Nods*. >:]

Oh!!!!!!!! I think I got it! It said a man eating lion. So either one would be paradise because behind one door is the paradise and behind the other door is a man eating the lion.

"are you the liar?"

Darn, you can only ask one man right? :/

The Chosen One Posts : 9446 Registration date : 2008-01-30

Yup.

Both of them would say "No" anyway.

The both of them are leading to man eating lion. It's simple.

I'd ask the liar "Are you sure that the both of you lead to paradise, or danger?"

I'm guessing my guess is wrong?

You don't know which is which.

Close to my answer, but not to the original riddle answer.

@Glitch: Read the post above. ^

Ask the liar...."Which door would the other guy say leads to paradise?" then go through the other door.

Is that right, I think have it!

You don't have to ask the liar, anyway you don't know which is the liar. I think you've got it! What could the other answer be....?

For one, you don't know who the liar is, so you can't ask the liar.

Now that I think of it, that works on both. ;)

you somehow use reverse physiology and the tells you i am the liar and this is paradise and................uhhhhh I don't know what's supposed to happen next

Lol!!!! :face: However, there is a slight mis-calculation in your method. you forgot to carry the 7, 4 to the power of 5 does not equal 704, and you forgot to reverse the polarity of the liar by using the theory of defensitivity, not the theory of the offensitivity. lol.

so if you subtract the accumulated magnetism
the answer has to be..... :0o
-2

Ah, my friend, you have failed to realize that the accumulated magnetism times acceleration does not equal more than a brick wall + the magnetised oidz on the other side, thus smashing your face and making the answer nothing. Tut tut, how could you not realize that my friend?
Lol, we're getting REALLY off topic.
