Hey guys my girlfriend is driving me crazy with this riddle she gave me. I cant figure it out. Here goes.......

There are two centurions. One of them always tells the truth, the other one always tells a lie. Both of them are in a room with two doors each centurion guarding a door. One door leads to paradise, the other door leads to hell. You can only ask one question to one of the centurions. What question would you ask so you will find the door to paradise?!

Since a woman asked you I would have to say the answer would be "am I fat?" That is the best answer I can think of. I get asked does this make me look fat by my lady.

I dont think there is one. You have to ask a question to get an answer to know which one it it is, but by then you've already asked the question you were allowed to have. Atleast thats how I look at it.

Its either that, or its just a guess. Because your taking a 50/50 chance on whatever you ask being true or false when answered since you dont know which one is the liar and which one tells the truth.

Logically the one that tells the truth would be infront of the door to heaven and the one that lies infront of the door to hell. But the riddle doesnt say for sure...

You ask "what would the other guy say that you would say?" then go with the opposite door.

here is the answer
You ask one what the other one would say if you asked him which door is the door to hell and then open that door.

let me explain Door 2 is hell dor 1 is heaven

You ask the one that lies what the other one would say of course the one that tells the truth would say that door 2 is the door to hell but being as you asked the one who lies he would say that they guy said door 1 is hell

now you ask the guy who tells the truth of couse the guy who lies would say that door 1 is hell and since he has to tell the truth he would say that the guy said 1

It dosent work in reverse unless you pick the opsite door. I hope that this makes sence It's late and im really tired and it's off the top of my head

You need to be allowed 2 questions to get the right door... one will not suffice. argh..... this is givin me a headache.

bigredhead
02-08-2006, 05:43 PM
But you can only ask one question can't you ? if you ask one a question.. then you can't ask the other one a question as well.. that makes 2 questions.. not one.. arghhhhh.

Hey guys my girlfriend is driving me crazy with this riddle she gave me. I cant figure it out. Here goes.......

You can only ask one question to one of the centurions. What question would you ask so you will find the door to paradise?!

you ask 1 what the other would say that is you one question

bigredhead
02-08-2006, 07:37 PM
But you don't know wich one is the liar and wich one tells the truth.. as well as wich door is what.... so to find out who is the liar and who is not.. you have to ask a question to qualify this first.. and that's your only question allowed... doh..

lets say
You ask the one that lies what the other one would say of course the one that tells the truth would say that door 2 is the door to hell but being as you asked the one who lies he would say that they guy said door 1 is hell

now if you ask the guy who tells the truth of couse the guy who lies would say that door 1 is hell and since he has to tell the truth he would say that the guy said 1

It dosent work in reverse unless you pick the opsite door. I hope that this makes sence It's late and im really tired and it's off the top of my head
