In the film "The Labyrinth," the heroine comes across two talking doors. She must choose which door to enter. The real brain-tickler is the preface that one of the talking doors always tells the truth and the other always lies.The heroine poses the question to door A, "If I asked door B, 'Which door leads to my destination?' what would he say?"If door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind me," then she knows the real path is behind door B because no matter who is lying and who is truthful, the lier's response will negate the truthful one's.If door A responds, "He would say your destination lies behind himself," then it can be deduced that the path is behind door A, again following this logic of reversal.So, whatever response either door gives will always be incorrect and the heroine should choose the other door.
Are you male or female? the real person will tell it like it is. the liar will say male if she is femaile. and say female when he is male. simple if you know how. no need to get into all these long explanations and tactics..hihhi
