There are two doors, one door leads to heaven and one door leads to hell. Each door has a guard, the guard guarding hell always tells a lie, the guard guarding heaven always tells the truth. You can ask one guard one question.

Assuming that you want to go to heaven...what do you ask and to whom?

Ask one guard which door the second guard would say is heaven. Then take the opposite.

....Is the correct answer Dave!

You ask any one of the guards...."which door would the other guard say he's guarding?"

If that guard said "he's guarding hell" then if the guard you asked was telling the truth then he guards heaven, if he is telling a lie then he is guarding hell!

I think the idea is, If you ask the guard guarding Heaven 'What door would the other guard say he was guarding' the person guarding Heaven would say 'he would say he is guarding Heaven' (Because the other guard always lies) If you asked the guard gaurding Hell the same question he would say 'he would say he is guarding Hell' (he is lying, because the guard would actually say he was guarding Heaven because he tells the truth)

So you have to choose the door which you would belive was Hell (take it as if they were both telling the truth and you needed the door to Hell) This would lead to Heaven :D

It's a no brainer

You ask the guard at the door to Heaven if that is the door to Heaven .........If YES,you proceed through that door.........if NO,you proceed through the other door

I mean the doors must be marked accordingly because how would the vicar have known which one leads where

Wake up folks

I'd also ask God if Blues will ever win the FA Cup and if 'Yes',I'd ask for a weekend pass

If you've read his poetry, you're a lucky man.



I'm writing a blog, basically it's just a load of emails between four people tagged onto each other. One of the four is the Vicar, so you can imagine it's a little off the beaten track. Thanks for reminding me about his poetry, I'll be asking him for contributions, I'm hoping he's still got some of his old stuff still lying around somewhere.
