Here's the hardest one I've ever been asked. I never got the answer by the way.
Consider this completely hypothetical scenario.
Firstly, assume to prior knowledge other that what's given. As in you can't hold up a cat and say is this a cat? Or what's my name? etc.
There are two identical doors with two identical guards - each one is guarding one of the doors. One door leads to the memorial stadium and the other leads to Lee Johnsons BDSM dungeon. The one guarding the Mem always tells the truth and the one guarding the dungeon always tells a lie. You have one question to ask one guard to establish which door each is guarding so you can avoid a fate worse than death.
The guards know who they are and they both know the one guarding the mem always tells the truth and the twisted sex pervert always lies.
What do you ask?

Isnt this the one where you ask one guard " if you were the other guard what would you say if I asked you is this the door to the Mem " if he is the truth teller he will tell the lie the liar would say.If he is a liar he will say the opposite to the truth.

The guards know who they are and they both know the one guarding the mem always tells the truth and the twisted sex pervert always lies. What do you ask? You go up to either guard and ask "Which door would the other guard say is the Mem door?" If you ask the question of the dungeon guard, he knows the Mem guard will tell the truth so he points to his own dungeon door. If you ask the question of the Mem guard, he knows the dungeon guard will lie and that the dungeon guard will point to the dungeon door. So both say the same door. So you walk through the other one. edit: beaten to it!

Classic riddle which has been the base for others. Fork in the road...1 question etc etc

Man lives on the 10th floor apartment. Every day he gets the lift down to the ground floor and goes to work. After work every day he gets back and takes the lift to the 7th floor, gets out and takes the stairs the rest of the way to the 10th. Unless it's raining in the morning. When it's raining in the morning he takes the lift to the 10th floor after work.

It's the same decision but you approach a fork in the road and there is either 2 guards/2 signs and one way is certain death(insert something bad) and the other is paradise or suchlike.

Imagine yourself in the lift, you need to get to the 10th floor. Why wouldn't you be 'able' to get there? If it was raining, what would you change about your morning routine?

If it was raining, what would you change about your morning routine? Can't reach the button for some reason? Can't figure how rain would stop you reaching a higher button. Something to do with a coat or umbrella??

What's the difference between, unlawful and ileagle . I believe that unlawful generally relates to civil law and illegal to criminal law. Could be wrong - where's that judge fellow?
