There are two identical doors guarded by two identical guards, one guard guards the door to hell, the other guard guards the door to heaven. One guard tells only the truth he guards heaven, the other tells only lies he guards hell. You have one question to ask to ONE of the guards, (assuming you want to get into heaven) what question do you ask? (The guards know EVERTHING about each other)

This has been posted at least once before. (and responses are rarely as quick as you're expecting - especially with USA still in bed).

And you spilt some crap on your avatar.

When I joined, I also made the mistake of not thoroughly searching to see if it had previously been posted. Shivam previously posted and has been answered.

Any question you already know the answer to.

What color are my shoes?

Of course this is assuming that religious beliefs of certain religions are correct (and others are incorrect) while there is no proof of any of them and even then it assumes that quick wittedness can get you past the guard and into a ultimate reward/punishment.

A better question would not reveal which door the truthful guard is guarding.

I'm glad you saw that, too efpy. I thought my screen was just dirty.

BTW as an Yank, I always understood Liverpool to be the most successful team in England.

Edit - I was so kind to find you an avatar more up to par with the intellectual level you shall find here on the BD...

Easy: IF I were to ask you what door you were guarding, what would you say? The guard who is guarding Hell's door would have to say hell because, if in fact you asked him, he would say Heaven. Since you asked "IF", he would have to lie again and say hell

Sorry so long in responding.....recovering from convulsions of laughter (so if the typing's a bit shaky....). I think you should change your description to "Ambassador of the BD - Space Cowboy".

I thought of having a revolving **** and ball as my avatar, but dismissed it. Can't even say c*ck without censorship.

@sukh....all taken in good part ( I hope).

Why complicate Things? Ask a simple question the you know the answer to, I.e. What is 2+2. You do know the answer, don't you?

And sukh, take it all in good fun. That's pretty much the golden rule of Brainden. All of us intellectual geniuses like to insult each other. Just take all the CENSORED that they give you in your stride.

Knowing the answer to 2+2 isn't going to get you to heaven! (unfortunately)

Ask either of the guards (doesn't matter which), "If I was to ask the other guard which exit leads to heaven, what would he say?" And then take the opposite exit

Edi - and be careful who you're calling an intellectual genius......

I think the original question you wanted to ask was "If two guards were guarding the doors to heaven and hell, one of them always lying and one always telling the truth, what question would you ask?"

Yep, you're right, Q. Must admit I half-read the question and assumed that's what was being asked.

So Aaryan's "what is 2+2" would work for the original question.
