There is a fork in the road guarded by two men. One road leads to heaven while the other leads to hell.

Suppose that you want to go to heaven, and you are given the chance to ask only one question directed to only one of the two men. One man will always tell the truth, while the other will always tell a lie, but you can't tell them apart.

What question must you ask to know which way is heaven?

There are four cards layed out in front of you like this:



Each of these cards has a letter on one side and a number on the other. Which two cards should you turn over to allow you to decide if the following statement is true:

"If there is a D on one side, there is a 5 on the other"?

Why did I not say D and 5

5 because if there's no D there, then it would disprove it, and vise versa with D.

Yeah but the A or the 2 could have a D or a 5 on the other side meaning it's not true. You would need to check the other sides of those also (I think)

Actually, dont turn 5 over, because it's only 5 on the other side if D is on one side, but maybe not the other way round.

An old one that probably everyone's heard before, let's see if I can get it right:

A man is given the choice to be hung or shot. If he makes a true statement, he will be shot, if he lies, he will be hanged. What can he say so that he will not be shot or hanged?

@Steam Assassin:
Quote: "I will be hung."

Yup, got it . If he says "I will be hung" and they hang him, he would be telling the truth, so they would actually have to shoot him, but if they shot him then he would be telling a lie, making them have to hang him. It's an infinite loop, and while the executioner is figuring it out, the man makes his great and daring escape!!

@Crit: I guess that could work, but it's not the answer .

EDIT: @Benjamin:
Quote: ""I love your pants, where did you buy them?""

Going back to my DA25 question:

That is actually from this weeks New Scientist magazine.
It is the Wason Card Selection Task and is designed to prove that people will almost always try to prove something is true even when it is easier to prove it false.

Here is what they say about it:

"Typically, 75% of people pick D and 5, reasoning that if these cards have a 5 and a D respectively on their flip sides, this confirms the rule. But look again. Although you are required to prove that if there is a D on one side, there is a 5 on the other, the statement says nothing about what letters might be on the reverse side of a 5. So the 5 card is irrelevant.
Instead of trying to confirm the theory, the way to test it is to try to disprove it. The correct answer is D (if the reverse isn't 5, the statement is false) and 2 (if there's a D on the other side, the statement is false)."

This thread is hard to keep up, but I will manage.

I have one. It looks like the common "nothing" one, but it isn't.

The richest of people want it.
The poorest of people have it.
It is an object.
It is not "Nothing", as it is an object.

What is it?

The Person99 awards go to: 1. Jack the Ripper for hardest crime scenes. 2. Peter Petrelli for most powers. 3. Superman for longest flight. 4. "The Doctor" for best time travel machine.
