There are two brothers. They are both guards. One is a guard that blocks the door to heaven and one is a guard that blocks the door to hell. The one that blocks the door to heaven always tells the truth. The one that blocks the door to hell always lies. Now, you want to go to heaven but you don't know which door goes where. You can only ask one question to learn which door goes where. Who would you ask and what would you ask him?

I would ask the brother that blocked the door to hell which was the door he would choose. Whatever door he directed me to would be the opposite door I would go through..

Ask the one that guards the door to heaven if that door that he is blocking is the gate to heaven. It said in the riddle that the one that blocks the gate to heaven tells the truth so he has to say yes to the question i would ask.

"What would the other guard say if I asked him if your door was the correct one?"
by doing this....if you ask the honest one he would tell you the other guard would say i block the door to hell.....because this would be a lie.....if you ask the other guard that blocks the door to hell he would have to say the other guard would say i block the door to heaven.....so logically you can assume the opposite is true in either case.

I would ask the one who blocks the door to hell, which door is this. If he said heaven I would not believe him.

You do not know the door to heaven? Ofcourse you do! You know the liar and the honest one so why cant you tell the door to heaven if you know the honest guy blocks the door to heaven thus standing on the heavenly door blocking it. Your problem is to cheat him let you pass. I would ask the honest guy if he has a lying brother. he will say yes and i will say he's send for him. leaving the door unblocks the door for me to enter heaven as he goes to tend to his lying brother

Id ask one the guard if he was a brother of the other guard. If he says yes, i know he is telling the truth and is the guard for heaven, if he says no, then i know he is lying and i'd know that was the guard for hell.

I would ask whoever was guarding the door what my name was. If he said it right I would know it's the door to heaven, if not I would know it's the door to hell.

I'd ask "is that your brother?"
the guard to the hell door would say no. since they are brothers, I'd know that he's lying, and that the other one must be the door to heaven.

You are thinking of the Labyrinth with Davis Bowie aren't you? They use the same idea and joke and this girl hass to ask one of them a question and only one. But I can't finish because I don't remember. Ask where would you go? Because the heaven guy would say heaven and the guy to hell would lie and say heaven.
cheers
