You are in a dark cave. You journey to the end of the cave. At the end of the cave are two doors. One door leads to your death. One door leads you safely out of the cave. Outside each door stands a guard. One guard can never lie. The other guard can never speak the truth. You can only ask ONE guard ONE question. What is that question and How do you safely exit the cave?

Well... I think the question to aks would be "which door would the other guard tell me to use to get out of here safe?" That way, if you ask the guy who lies, he'll directly lie and tell you to use the door that leads you to death, and if you ask the guy who tells the truth, he'll tell you exactly what the other guard would say (again, the door to death). So, if the answer is "door A", remember to exit the cave through door B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I would post another riddle, but I'm too tired of coding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) to think of one... so if anyone wants to post another one for me, please... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
