Which door would the other guard say that (pointing at one door) is? Then I do the door he says is death.
-
i would ask one of the guards how many doors there are. easy way of finding out which one is the liar and which isn't. then i would blindly assume that the one who is the truth telling guard is guarding the doorway to life and walk on through!
-
that depends which gaurd told him that there is a life door and a death door.
-
which one of you is lying ? lol i dont know really
-
I'd probably just run headfirst into the wall and kill myself hahahahah This question sounds like my discrete math class, and let me tell ya, I never was much good at that!
-
I would ask each guard, "Which exit would the other guard tell me is the escape from this mine?" Both will point to the safe exit.
-
Ask both guards the way out they will both tell you the same way.Take it one is telling the truth
-
Just go up to one of them and ask " If I were to ask your buddy over there, which is the safe way out,what would he tell me? Go out the door that he indicates. You'll live.

Since one of the beings cannot tell the truth of which would be the devil, I would have to ask just once to either, Do you serve the Lord in heaven who sent His son to earth? It is Faith that leads you out.
-
I would as who ever is guarding the door if they would go with me.
-
"Does the other guard lie?"
-
I just pick a door at random without asking either gaurd anything. That's just the way I operate.
-
"If I were to ask the other guard, which door would he say leads to freedom?" You would then select the door opposite to the one he picked.
-
this specific example is actually a very old logic problem. you ask what the other would say, simply because you do the opposite. the clinton and washington example is cute.. although i did support big bill.
-
I'd ask either guard to walk through either door. If he dies then go through the other!
-
this is the proper answer.

Where did i put that cupcake?

You ask either one, "If I asked the other robot which door to take to get to life, what would they say?" Then take the other door if you want life. You have to set up double positive/double negative. It's a very basic riddle that has been asked here dozens of times. Let's say Robot A is the truth teller, and Door 1 is the door to life. When you ask robot A which door to take, A truthfully says that B would say "Door 2." Therefore you take the other door to save your life. When you ask B which door to take, B lies, saying that A would say "Door 2." Therefore you take the other door to save your life.

ask one of them if thay are aboule to tell a lie if its the one hum tells the truth he will say yes but he is not allowed. if its the one hum tells lies he will say no thin ask the other were the door that leeds to life if if its the truthfull one he will give you the right door and vis versa with the one hum lies.
-
I would ask the man who always lies which door it is. He states he always lies, but that in its very statement is the truth.
-
"Pretend i am your mother. in order to save my life, tell me the truth, is this the real life door"?
-
I'd look both square in the eye, and say, "Which ones the the door?"
-
You ask either guard, "If I asked the other guard which door leads to heaven, what would they say?" Then take the other door. There is only one question needed, which can be asked of either guard. This sets up a double negative or double positive, and always leads you to the right answer.

where is God?
-
