In a maze you reach a dead end. There stands two men in front of two doors. One of the men always lies, the other always tells the truth though you don't know which one tells which. Through one door you'll find eternal happiness, the other leads to an imminent death. You may only ask one question to only one of the men. How will you know which door to walk through to find your eternal happiness?

Ask what your brother (well I guess they're not related in this one, but ask the other man... you know what I mean) would say if I asked him which door had happiness. Then you know it's a lie and you go to the other door.
because 1 lies... if you ask the one who lies what the other guy will say, he'll lie and tell you the wrong answer. if you ask the truthful guy, he will tell you what the other guy will say which will truthfully be the wrong answer... so either way, you know the answer is the other door.

Ask one of the men "If I were to ask the other man which door led to eternal happiness what would he say?"
Then you would have your answer

Ask one of them to go through the imminent death door. That is a guaranteed result

ask one man if he's standing in front of a door. pretty obvious to tell who's lying, right?
