door of life!!

you walk into a room. in this room, there are 2 doors. one is the door of life, and the other is the door of death. in this room, there are also 2 brothers. one ALWAYS tells a lie and the other ALWAYS tells the truth. now.....asking only ONE QUESTION to only ONE brother, what question would you ask to find out which was the door of life. keep in mind..only ONE question and you do not know who is the liar or who is the one that tells the truth.

Which door did I come out of? If I am alive, I would go back through that door- I know it is not death.

You have to say 'You come to in a room' or 'you had been brought into a room blindfolded' for it to work though...if you walked into the room and there are only two doors- then you know which is the right door-right?

zoomba is right- you ask one brother "which door would your brother tell me to go through" and then walk through the opposite. because if he is the liar it works and if he is the truthful one, it works....

texas rules.....hooray. very good. you have won a one dollar gift certificate to a christmas tree shop...one soon to be near you..
the correct way is this..
if i asked your brother which was the door of life, which would he pick. then you take the opposite. i'll give it you though..

I'd find the nearest window and exit quietly

This is like one of those Kokumoondo (or whatever they're called) number puzzles some of you are into.

I have the same reaction to it: Makes me want to stick a sharpened pencil in my eye.
