My math teacher assigns us all a question every week which is worth extra credit. We are allowed to ask friends and family (he didn't say anything about not asking minecraft forums). Anyway, heres the question

You are locked in a jail cell. There are 2 doors. Door #1 leads to certain death Door #2 leads to freedom. Guarding each of these doors is a guard. One of the guards always tells the truth. The other always lies. You don't know which guard is which, you don't know which door is which, and you don't know which guard is in front of which door. You have one question to determine which door leads to freedom. What's your question

(You can't have an "and" question ex. "Which guard are you, and which door do you guard)"

Also, if anything is unclear, just quote it and I'll try to reword it for you.

Stab the left guard in the jugular with your No2 pencil, proceed to take their weapon and force the living guard through your choice of door. If they live follow them. If they don't go through the other door.

You ask the guard what wouldbthe other guard say. You can ask either one. Pick the opposite of what they would pick.
