Your'e in a cement block room with a solid door at each end. One door has a bomb attached to it and one does not but you don't know which has the bomb. There are 2 computers in the room. One only lies, the other only tells the truth. You can only ask 1 question (the same question) to each computer. How do you get out? I don't have the answer yet.

Ok, so its a solid door and you can't hear the bomb ticking, else just press your ear to the door and open the one that has no ticking.
But, Wait a minute. It does not say that if you open the door the bomb will go off. So just open any door.

Ask either computer "What will the other computer say if I were to ask him what door is safe" and take the opposite door than the one they answer with.
Lets say that door #1 goes to the bomb, and door #2 goes to safety. If you ask computer that tells the truth then it knows the other computer will lie and say door #1. If you ask the computer that lies, it will lie about the other computer's answer and and also say door #1. Therefore, you take door #2.
Reverse it if they say door#2 and take door #1.

Wait for the bomb to go off in the safety of your cement room, and then leave? Or throw one of the computers at one of the doors, and if the door explodes, then use the other door?
I don't know. I've racked my brain trying to think of things you could ask the computers.
When you figure out this riddle, please let us know because I really want to know the answer!!!
Good luck!
