Mind game to figure out.

firestorm · 11-26-2002, 03:17 AM

Here is a mind game for you guys and gals see if you can figure out the answer.

Your standing in a room with 2 doors. A guard is stationed in front of each one. One Door leads to your freedom. The other door leads to death. Now you can ONLY ask ONE guard ONE question to find out which is the door that leads to freedom. Problem is one of the guards ALWAYS lies and the OTHER guard ALWAYS tells the truth and you don't know which guard is which.
Now what is your one and only question and who are you going to ask?

An example question to save you some wrong answers:

1. Ask the guard on the left or right(doesn't matter) which one of you
always tells the truth.
Problem: guard may say himself or the other(doesn't matter which)
because you still don't know if he is telling the truth. And if he is
telling the truth you still can't proove he is.
regardless, you just used your one question and u still don't
know which door is which.

Good luck and you'll get the answer next sunday.

"Which door would the other guard say leads to freedom?" No matter which guard you ask you're going to get a lie so choose the other door.

If you ask the guard who tells the truth what the OTHER guard (who always lies) would say you're going to get the wrong door. If you ask the guard who lies what the OTHER guard (who always tells the truth) would say you're going to get the wrong door. Either way you'll get the wrong door so choose the other one.
