A man is thrown into a cell with two doors. He is told that one door leads to freedom whilst the other to certain death - he is not told which is which.
On each door stands a guard and the man is told that one of these guards always tells the truth whilst the other always a lie - again, he is not told which is which.
The warder tells the man he is allowed to ask one of the guards one question and one question only and then he must choose one of the doors.
The man thinks for a moment, approaches one of the guards, asks his one question and then confidently opens the door to freedom.
What was the question?

the question is "If you were the other guard, which door will you point at if i ask for the door of freedom?".
the liar will point to the door of certain death, and the honest guard will also point to the same door.
therefore, choose the other door. alrightythen!!!!

I'd ask the guard to go through the door in front of me. If he refused, I'd use the other door!

What colour eyes have I got. The lier would have to lie and so would get the answer wrong. Wrong answer - choose other door.
