Title: two doors
Post by SnapShot on Oct 9^th, 2008, 1:43pm

you are a prisoner being led to two doors one leads to freedom one leads to death, you don't know which door is which. there's one gaurd at each door, one gaurd always tells the truth and one always lies. you can ask ONE question to figure out which door two go through. what do you ask?
