ask any guard "what will the other guard say when i ask him which room is the way to my freedom"
whatever answer he gives, take the opposite road!

the liar knows that the one who tells the truth will say the right room, so he will trick u and say the wrong room.
the one who tells the truth knows that the one who lies will tell a lie, so he will tell u the wrong room.

"Can the truthful guard lead me to the door to my freedom?"

ask the truthful guard- how can i get out of this room?

you ask one of them "Are you a liar" if its the liar he'll say no. If it the truth guy he'll say no. That means i havent got a clue........... Damn i thought i had it

Oh i think i got it! Ask any guard a question you know the answer to....... Like "Are your eyes blue" Then you'll know who is telling the truth and who is lying! But then i still dont know what door to pick? Damnit! I should get points for the effort though.....

uhhhhh no clue

Ok well I order to find out the liar from the truther( Yea, I made up that word), ask an obious question, like "What color is the sky", and the liar will say something like orange, and the truther will say blue. Then you ask the honest guard which door leads to where, and yea. Am I right?? Yea, I know, I'm wrong.

"Will the truthful guard please kill the untruthful guard and lead me to freedom?"

Again, ask either guard 'What would the other guard say if I asked him which was the door to freedom?'. Choose the other one to the one indicated. This question would always show the wrong door irrespective of the guard asked.

Ask "How would the other guard say to get out of the room?", then pick the other door.

If you ask the liar, he will falsly report the truthteller saying the correct door and if you ask the truthteller, he will truthfully tell the liar's lie.

i think you could ask only one of the guards "If I ask the other guard which door I should walk through to live, what would he tell me?" If that guard answers 'this door', then you go to walk through the other door. If the guard answers 'the other door' you would walk through that guards door. yay! I'm freee!!!

(this makes sense when i say it in my head but it sounds confusing as i put it into words i think this is right though. )

you ask them witch door leads to your freedom they will give you the same answer as one always lies and the other always tells the truth.

Easy. Ask any guard, "What will the other guard say if I asked him what door is correct?" For example, if the correct door is Door 1, then you asked the truthful guard, he'll say, "Door 2" and if you asked the liar, he'll say, "Door 2" so at any answer, enter door 1. That's easy.

This riddle is most pathetically overdone and monotonously repeated riddle Ever on Yahoo! answers; its even an insult to answer it. So anybody who posts it or reposts it must be either 8 years old or younger or really and seriously lame and lame retarded.
