It's a human

a man. No horses. Just a dude. In the metiphorical morning (baby) afternoon (their general life) and evening (Old man with a stick) of their life.

Ok...soo...

You are trapped in a room with 2 doors. One leads to freedom, the other to a soul-devouring evil monster (or your old gym teacher, whichever's worse) . Each door is guarded by one guard. One of the guards ALWAYS lies and the other ALWAYS tells the truth. You DON'T KNOW which is which and you also DON'T KNOW which door leads to freedom. How do you leave the room (and not end up doing 5000 press ups/ with your soul not devoured)

Put a gun against the head of one of the guards and let him go through the door first :twisted:

Ask one guard if there are 2 doors.
If no then ask if this door leads to freedom
If yes then go through other door
If guards says there are 2 doors, asks which one leads to freedom and go through that one.

Or use the gun...

Or simply wait until the guards need to go to the bathroom. They aren't going to go through the evil door, so just follow them. :wink:
