You are in a room with two doors. Behind one door is freedom and behind the other door is death.
Also in the room are two brothers. One brother always tells the truth and the other one always lies (you don't know which one is which).
You can only ask one question to one of the brothers. What question do you ask?

+1:10
+2:10
+3:10
+4:10
-----------
10:40 / 10
=
1:4 x25
= 25:100
= 25%

Got a smoke brah?

better: do you have any hair?

you ask one brother to open 1 door if he dies choose the other one

Typically, you'd ask: "What would your brother say if I asked him which door leads to freedom", but, given they are two brothers trapped in a room with two doors and they already know the answer to the riddle, I might be very tempted to ask: "Why are you guys still standing in this room?"

He opens the death door and you die



"Waiting to see if you die"



"Yes"

The first question is a paradox because the question contains itself

"He would say door 1 leads to Freedom"




MOAR RIDDLES

oh i dident know it qwas like that

So, the secret of the riddle is that the brothers are mentally handicapped morons who answer different questions to the one you asked?

"Which door leads to freedom?"
"One door leads to freedom."

...?

I guess, seeing as part of the riddle is just making up random stuff and answering like a jibbering dimwit, I could just tackle the brothers and use them to make a flesh shield?... Is... Is that how we do these things now?

I think in the original D&D situation the brothers are undead or golems so they don't care about what happens. Apparently it's been on dr who, yugioh etc. since then

nah you had the right answer, assume that one door is marked "door 1" and the other door is marked "door 2"

So which door do you choose after he answers?

The standard reply is: "You choose the opposite door.", the logic being that, even if you asked the brother telling the truth, he would honestly answer in the fashion of his brother, who lies. If you asked the brother who lies, obviously you'd do the opposite, because even thou he is answering for his honest brother, he would lie about it... Then, you just ask i*HEADBURST*...

haha yeah you're right, if he says Door 1 then you choose Door 2.

Scenario 1: He lied, which implies that his brother WOULDNT say door 1 is safe.
Scenario 2: He told the truth, which implies that his brother would lie about door 1 being safe.

Hope you didn't use google to get your answer

I THINK I used Labyrinth... It was a confused mix of David Bowie with a giant package in leather pants trying to groom an underaged girl for sex and a puzzle with two talking doors.

how do the brothers know which door is which? are you saying there were 3 brothers and one choose incorrectly?

they were told by their creator - the liche mindflayer

They're jerks. There were signs clearly marking each door and they took them off, then agreed to always lie and always tell the truth... But the one that agreed to lie was lying, so he was telling the truth, which meant that he told the truth about lying, which m*ANOTHERHEADBURST!*

Are you saying you're the brother of the brothers and you chose incorrectly?

nah i was too busy walking around like i was hung well. And if I was there I would just ask them to open a door each at the same time.

Think you explained that door thing too vaguely and didn't really answer it.

You ask one "If I ask your brother if that (point to a door) door is the door to freedom, what will he say?"

If he answers "yes", you choose the opposite door, the logic being that if the one you asked is the liar, the other brother would actually have answer truthfully "no". If he was not the liar, then by default the "yes" you would get from the other brother would be a lie and thus it would still be the opposite door.

If he answers "no", you choose that door, following the same logic as above, if the one you asked is the liar then the truthful answer would be "yes". If he's telling the truth then the "no" you would get from that door would be a lie.

oh ok i guess that works

You can google this **** and get retarded explanations by the million, but the most common answer seems to be "ask one brother to ask the other which door is freedom" ???

****.

haha yeah don't make it a yes or no answer - just makes it more confusing

He opens the doors and you die

ok I'm bored again, here's an easier one.


You've got a 3L jug, a 5L jug and unlimited water.

How do you get exactly 4L of water?

use the 3l jug to fill up the 5l jug twice, leaving 1 litre in the 3 litre jug. empty the 5l jugg, then empty the 3l jug into the 5l leaving 1 litre in the jug, following it up with another 3l.

ok, now show me the other way

if you couldn't be bothered doing it the other way, try this:

You are locked in a room with a bomb. Solving the test will unlock the door.

You have 15 mins.
Go

no both doors open at the same time creating a tear in the fabric of space and time transporting me back to the 29th of july where I can chase you down and assassinate you before you create this thread and save humanity.

I did this in under 3mins.

I think I have another way? But more complicated? Pour 3L jug into empty 5L jug. Fill 3L jug, fill the 5L jug from the 3L, leaving 1L in the 3L jug. Empty 5L jug, pour the remaining 1L from the 3L jug into the 5L jug then follow it up with another full 3L jug, making 4L.

I'm sure there are several ways to do it, but your looks to be the simplest.

the jug of water riddles pretty easy ive heard it heaps but i recall there being more then 2 jugs.

Is that two different riddles? Or is it two parts of one riddle?

Sorry, I guess I was being a little light hearted, kinda assuming folks knew that old doozey. My mistake. Let me make it up to people with another oldey:

A Sparky is called out to a house run by a lunatic who has personally wired up the place in the least logical fashion he could. Upon entering, the sparky finds three switches down one end of a long, black, light trap style corridor that leads to the master bedroom... The wires all run into the bedroom, but there's only one light. The other two switches are utterly useless and turn on nothing at all.

The Sparky, being a contractor, is amazingly lazy! He figures he can find out which switch controls the light without having to knock down any walls, without removing the switches and checking the wires and with only one trip into the master bedroom... Lazyness is the mother of invention!

How can the sparky test which switch is hooked up to the light with only one trip?

Wait, what?... Oh, wait, I see! You ask him to ask his brother, and then when he gives you the answer it will be a lie. Okay, I follow.

That seems slightly more complicated then just asking one brother what answer his brother would give, but I can see how it still works. It's kinda like having a Warehouse full of fish and a fish shop that sells those fish next door, adding a needless middle man.

I was talking to pjano.

I'm still kinda sorry... Maybe not as much as I should be. What's it called when you say you're sorry, but feel nothing but a hollow hatred for all mankind?

Yeah that's another way to do it. You could also fill up the 5L jug, then use that 5L to fill up the 3L jug, leaving you with 2L in the 5L jug. Then empty the 3L jug. Then pour the 2L into the 3L jug. Then fill the 5L jug. Then pour the 5L jug into the 2/3L jug until it's full, leaving you with 4L in the 5L jug and 3L in the 3L jug.

hurrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ive got a riddle,
What does Gipps Street, Barry Street, Brunswick Road, Bowden Bridge Road, Lutwiche Road Gympie Road and Bruce **** Highway have in common?

Tar.

They are all the same road.

I hate South Pine Road in Brisbane the most. There are 3 unconnected sections in the same area. I ended up in Stafford by mistake last weekend.

if you fill up a glass halfway is it half full or half empty?

-You were filling it up, so it is half full.

-If you are emptying a full glass, and you stop at half, then it is half empty.

-If the glass contains 50% of its contents and you don't know how it happend, then it is a glass that currently contains 50% of its maximum volume.

-Or if you are Zaraq, it's got windex in it and you have no idea what's going on or what the question was.

[img]if%20you%20fill%20up%20a%20glass%20halfway%20is%20it%20half%20full%20or%20half%20empty?[/img]
its really 99.9999999999999% empty space

oi you **** mutton neck bearded ****, your image link is borked
