What question can he ask to know 100% sure what door leads out?

If I ask the other guard, "which door will lead me to freedom?", what would he say?

No matter whom you ask, they'll both say the deathtrap door...so now ya know.

Heh, it's cool I stumped so many peoples.

I will now reveal the answer...so if you want to still think about it, then don't read any further.

The Germenator got it right. You can ask only one gaurd one question, and that question would be "If I ask the other guy "Which door will lead me to freedom?" what would he say?"

If you ask the person who tells the truth, then he will point you towards the deathtrap, because the other guy would lie and say the death trap door. If you ask the liar, he would still point towards the deathtrap door because he would lie about what the honest man would say.

1. The room with the assassins because they will have killed themselves by the time you get in there.
2. Nothing because nomatter what else is in the air, you need oxygen for combustion.
3. It doesn't matter because the pressure on the bottom from the wings beating creates a lot of downward pressure on the scale.

1. The room with the lions. They're probably dead.

2. Nothing would happen. The match wouldn't even light up. That is, if you find the energy to work your muscles.

3. Flying around. They'd produce more CO2, which is heavier than O2, than when they aren't flying. Making the jar heavier.

lol gooD job bube~ haha...here are the answers guyz...
hmm..but theres a slight twist on the last answer...it should b able to go bothways..cuz its either...(the answer above) or its 3. because of the pressure made by the flies while theyre flying...(wings flapping) lol..

Bube · 03-24-2004, 01:17 PM
