20 questions.

I'd ask what my name is. Is that the correct answer??

It's quite a leap of faith to think that you already know what your true name is.

Screw the question, i'd just start talking to the angels and rolling around them in circles for all of eternity.  Just so I am added to that riddle.  "You see two angels, and some random fuck."

I'd start a halo frizbee game.

You're dead.  Sucks to be you.  What's worse is that the afterlife is very confusing.  You're now outside the gates of heaven and hell, and they're right across from each other.  Each gate is guarded by an angel.  One can only speak the truth, and one can only speak lies.  You, yourself, are only allowed one question, and then you have to pick which gate you're going through.  What should you ask?

I'd ask them if they could open up the gate behind them. Is that the answer??

How does that help you, though?  You still don't know which one you're entering.

((Guys, let me know when you want the answer.))

Well, I give up. Does anyone else want to play this game besides me??

PM me the answer if you want to keep everyone else in suspense.

hehehe I almost guessed something along those lines, but I did'nt think it trough properly.

Here's a few hints.

Both angels are aware of which is the proper gate. (duh)

The honest angel knows the other angel tells only lies.

The liar knows the honest one always tels the truth.

You don't have to figure out who the liar is. You just have to be certian you're being told a lie..........

I'm gonna post the answer soon...

Thread=dead.

So, here's the answer:

You ask either angel,  "Which gate will the other angel tell me goes to hell?"  Then, walk through the door they indicate.  Here's why:

If you ask the lying angel, he will indicate the gate to heaven, because he knows the truthful angel will NOT indicate that gate, therefore, the lying angel will be lying whe indicating the gate.

If you ask the truthful angel, he'll know that the other angel will lie and indicate the gate to heaven because the lying angel always lies, so he will point to the gate to heaven as well.

I knew that riddle, but I never remember the answer and I am too lazy to figure it out.

[McGiver]

couln't i just have asked them which gate the other would indicate is hell, and then walk through the other gate?

if you ask which gate the other would say is hell, they'll each point to the gate to heaven.
