No, Agrenish--the liar could be protecting the good door.

Here are my answers, as of now.

Kal's question w/ the doors and guards:

Someone already answered it, but to clarify their answer:
"If I asked you if this door led to salvation, would you say yes or no?"

If it really were the good door, the good guard would call it good, and the bad one would call it bad, but say would call it good.

I'll think about the other ones, also.

>>No, Agrenish--the liar could be protecting the good door.<<

Ya get two questions though. You see, you ask one what is the color of the sky. If the liar ansewers he'll say a differant color than blue. Then you ask the other gaurd (in this case the one who tells the truth) which is the doorway to salvation.

It works the other way around as well.

What is your question..... ?

Like I said... ask one of the guards if the other would say a particular door leads to damnation.

A dozen branches with 30 leaves on each would be one hell of a pain in tha ass come fall.

With them other three, I could do it long as the stove ain't on.

See? I can do these.

Skyler,

All I can do is deny your accusation. I am more than willing to admit to being lucky, but I wouldn't cheat. That would only kill the fun.

Tolkien Riddle non-golem/bilbo origin. Give me "Who asked the riddle and to whom the riddle was directed"

I come from under the hill
and under the hill and over the hill
my paths led
And through the air
I am he that walks unseen
I am the lucky number
The web cutter
The spider stinger
I am he that drowns his friends
and draws them alive again from the water
I am the guest of eagles
The ring winner
and luck wearer
The clue finder
and
The barrel rider.

Note: The answer is not one of those miserable tub-thumping Lakemen.
