You were killed in a palne crash and you find youself
in front of two doors. One leading to heaven for eternity, and one leading to hell for eternity. Beside each door there is a troll. The troll is guarding the door. There are instructions behind you.
The instructions say " You can only ask one question. You can only say the question to one troll. One troll always lies reguardless of the question, and the other troll always tells the truth reguardless of the question. That is all you will be told..."
How do you make sure that you are going to heaven, and why?
C99, I have heard that one a little differently, but I think you ask the troll that always lies which door is the one to heaven. Then take the opposite door whatever he answers.
That would be right, exept how do you know which troll lies?
The question to ask (of either "troll") is:
"If I asked the other troll 'which door leads to heaven', what would he reply?" Then take the opposite door to that indicated.
Try it!
yes but what if you are asking the honest troll that question
Both of them will give the same answer!
Hardly one of the "hardest riddles in the world" ! It's appeared on A2K at least five times to my knowlege. Try googling "the colored hats riddle" for more of the same.
This is easy. Ask either troll what the other troll would say when asked which door led to heaven. Either way, the door to heaven is the opposite of the answer.
