A prisoner is held in a dungeon (he cannot see the outside world, judge the time of the day etc) which is closely guarded by two guards. This prison has two doors. One leads to the gallows, the other to freedom. One of the guards always speaks the truth. The other guard always lies. The prisoner doesn't know which door is the door to freedom & he also doesn't know who is the honest guard.
On his request for mercy, the king of the land pardons him on one condition. He should find out the door to freedom and walk through it. BUT, he can ask only 1 question to either of the guards. And he will get only 1 reply. Moreover, he cannot take a chance, try 50% probability or anything like that. Further, if he walks out of the wrong door, he will be immediately hanged.
So friends, please help him frame the right question & walk away to freedom.

He should just kill both the guards, steal their swords, fight his way out of the gaol, kill the judge, rescue the girl, catch the ghost and jump out of the plane before the bomb goes off.
