Six doors with plates at each door are in front of you. You know that the desired exit is behind one door only, and behind other doors there is either an ogre or false exit. If the real exit is behind the door then the statement written on the plate is true, if there is an ogre behind the door, then the statement written on the plate is a lie, and the door with a false exit can have either a true statement or a lie written on the plate. You should not make a mistake: the ogres will instantly eat you if you open one of their doors. What door should you choose to find the exit?
1. No exit behind this door
2. Statement 1 is false
3. The same thing is behind this door and door 6.
4. The statements of the doors 1 and 6 are both either true or false
5. Behind door 2 you will find a hungry ogre.
6. An ogre is behind this door

I think I would have to go with door 4.. Seems logical. If that one isn't the case the only other one that seems like it might be safe is door 2.

The door is either door 2 or 4. These are both doors that have to have true answers. This means that there cannot be an orge behind the door, so you are safe. Door 3 could either be true or false, but if it is true it is a false exit anyways since it would be the same as door 6, which must be a false exit. You could just pick either door 2 or 4 and if it was wrong, try the other one.

ill go with #4...cause it states that #1 and see are both either true or false..so if its false there is an exit behind door 1 and there is not an ogre behind 6...and since there cant be more than one exit..this wipes it out...#5 says there is an ogre behind door 2 so u dont want to risk that...same with #3, if its the same as 6..theres an ogre..so ur toast..so its gotta be #4 cause its the only door that doesnt get implicated by the other signs

I'd choose 2. Going through the statements slowly, I conclude that its the right choice.
My explanation:
1-False Exit
2-Real Exit
3-False exit
4-Ogre
5-Ogre
6-False Exit

ok, i'm changing to #4.
very simply put, it's the only statement which can't be false and thereby have an ogre behind it.
oh goodness, how confusing that was.
