Confused Brain Teaser

So for those of you that know this, shush.

In the afterworld, there are two brothers that guard two doors. One door leads to "heaven" and the other leads to "hell". You do not know which door leads where... only the brothers do. You can ask only one question to only ONE of the brothers to find out which door leads where. The thing is..... one brother always tells the truth and the other always lies (you do not know who is who).

What one question do you ask to figure out which door leads to heaven?






And if this has been done before...sorry in advance.

hmm tough one..

they both know the answer, you can ask 1 question, one lie one tell the truth, you can only ask 1 brother the question, so not both.

so whatever i would ask wont help me...


but am sure there is something since you posted this ..

very curious for the answer.

OH SMART ONE.


And I'm not sure if this is from a movie.....


Posted by Floorfiller on May-18-2004 16:20:

how about this...straight out of my LSAT study book...

"Exactly five guests -- August, Dasha, Henry, Memphis, and Nicholas -- arrive at a Super Bowl party. No guest arrives at the same time as any other guest. Each guest bring exactly one of the following items to the party: beer, chicken wings, ice cream, pizza, or soda. Each guest brings a different item. Exactly two guests arrive between Henry's arrival and the arrival of the guest who brings chicken wings. The guest who brings the ice cream arrives fourth. Nicholas arrives after Dasha. Memphis is the only guest to arrive between the arrval of the guest who rings chicken wings and the arrival of the guest who brings beer.

If Memphis brings ice cream to the party, then the order of guest arrivals and the item each brings would be precisely determined if it were also know that..."

What Tenessee Raver said...
If I ask your brother which door leads to heaven, what would he say?

The brother who always tells the truth is going to tell you that his other brother will tell you the opposite door from what it really is and the brother who lies will tell you the wrong door in which the truthful brother would tell you. So no matter what either of their answers is... go to the opposite door.

someone try my riddle


Posted by xGirlx on May-18-2004 16:28:

I'm TRYING.


Posted by xGirlx on May-18-2004 16:31:

Ok so I'm totally confused by this. I somewhat have the order but I do not know how to answer your question. Ugh. And who the hell is bringing the pizza and soda, how is this determined? Hmmmm.

that's what the questions asking. it wants you to determine what missing information is needed to make it complete. you need to be given one more peice of info for it to work, and that's what you have to determine.

edit: you're on the right track


Posted by xGirlx on May-18-2004 16:37:

Is it what August brings? Ugh, I'm about giving up.


Posted by xGirlx on May-18-2004 16:39:

No, that's not it. Ok, PM me. I give up.


Posted by Mebot on May-18-2004 17:26:

Ask one of the brothers if he is a Rhinocerous. If he says yes, he's the liar.

if he says no, he's telling the truth. Simple


Just ask a simple yes or no question (like "is it raining?")
