RE: Random Challenge of the Day #15
You are walking through a tunnel. You come to an room at the end of the tunnel and enter. The door closes behind you and becomes part of the wall. No way back.
There are two doors on the other side of the room. There are no other exits. One door leads to safety and freedom. The other leads to certain death.
In front of each door stands a man. On the wall between the doors is a sign that tells you that you may ask one question. It can be to either man, but not to both.
One man will always tell the truth. The other man will always lie.
You cannot change your mind once you have selected a door.
What question do you ask?
Which door do you choose?
Ask either guard, Which door is the safe door? Then pick the other door than what he said.
No, but that's a good try! Keep thinking on it. You can do it! :)
Oh well deep to deep I think. Love
@khackett, you give up?
What is the answer please. Love
Alright, here's the answer:
Walk up to either guard and ask him which door the other guard will tell you leads to safety. Whatever door he points at, choose the other one.
Why?
Well, you don't know which guard is which, but still, here's what will happen.
The one who tells the truth will truthfully tell you that the liar will tell you to choose the door that leads to death.
The liar will lie and tell you the truthteller will point you to the door that leads to death.
Thank you
