On your trip back from the Island people to the deep dark forest, you get lost. A trap door suddenly opens and you fall down into a dark chamber.
You hear a voice, "You are trespassing and the penalty is death. In five minutes you will be buried alive. However due to our exceeding kindness and mercy, and because you were once ruler of the forest people, we will allow you to earn your life back. In this dark chamber there are two doors. You may choose to open either one - if you choose correctly, you will go free. If you choose incorrectly, well, instead of just being buried alive, you will be eaten alive by army ants.
To help you choose a door, you may ask a question. However, you should know that two people will hear you and one of them always lies and the other one always tells the truth. One of them will answer your question, but you will not know which one. Each of them knows which door leads to freedom.
Good Luck, you have four and a half minutes left."
What question do you ask to win your freedom? (At least two solutions.)

Ask them what the other would say if you asked them which door was safe. The truthful one would tell you that the liar would tell you that door 1 was safe. The liar would lie about which door the truthful one would say and say door 1 as well. This means you go out of door 2. :o

I don't have a problem with the ants, so Id just hazard a guess instead, might as well get killed in a riddle than of old age.

You ask either person what the other would say. Then you do the opposite. If you picked the truthful one, they will tell you the lie the other person would tell you. If you picked the liar, they will lie.
