Ok, here's a logic puzzle for you. It took me a LONG time to get it (count in days or weeks) but only took Brian about 5 seconds. Think about it. I'll post the answer in a few days, but feel free to ask questions for clarification or answer in the comments if you'd like:
You are in front of two doors, each with a guard in front of them. One door leads to Life, one door leads to Death. One guard only tells the truth and the other guard only lies. You don't know which door is which or which guard is which.
What ONE question can you ask (to either guard) to figure out which door to go through to live?

I need TWO questions! You better post the answer or I'll go crazy. Maybe I can google it...
The question you would ask is . . . "If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to life, what would he say?"
Ask one of them what the other would say if you asked them what was behind their door.
The liar will lie and say the honest man will say "death."
The honest man will tell the truth and say that that the liar will lie and say that "life" is behind his door.
Therefore, whatever the man says that the other will say is actually what is behind his door.
??? i am really puzzled by this one.???
I totally cheated and looked it up. Wasn'there something like this in the movie "Labrynth"? Or was it another one.
