Does the door behind you lead to freedom?!

[Soapets]

"Are you guarding the door to the execution room?"

OR

"Is the other guard standing in front of the door leading to my freedom?"

Darn!! We did one really similar to this in math class last year, it was about two guys and they were brothers, and one always lied and one didn't, and it was something about 2 paths in a road, and I remember getting the answer, but now I can't remember it, and I'm sure it would be really similar to this one!

"Is the other guard standing in front of the door leading to my freedom?"

You're sooooooo very close! you just need to change the object slightly and explain your answer a little more... good luck

[Almita]

is the front door that the guard is gurading lead to my freedom?!

[Miss Z]

You are soooooooooo very close, it's just the opposite of freedom....

Oh, come on! I've been following this for over a day now! Just spit out the answer already!!

[Miss Z]

OK, i've been itching to give the answer to with Almita being so close!!!

The man would ask, " If i were to ask the other guard which door led to the execution room, which one would he say?" Whatever the answer was, he would go through. If he asked the lying guard, the lying guard would know that the other guard would tell the truth about which door was which, but he would then lie about it. If he asked the truthful one, this guard would know that the other guard would lie about which door was which, and so he would tell the truth about this. So, all in all, whichever guard says is the door to the execution room, is actually the door to freedom!

Hope you get that, it is complicated!!!
