I'd ask either of em to lead me to hell, heaven is an eternal paradise without hardships, and what is fun without a hardship? Hell seems like a more entertaining alternative.

hey
hey hey

I watch Ricky Gervais, too.

Ask one, 'if you were to lie to me about where your door leads to, what would you say?'.

Take the opposite door.

Sage.

I would ask: why haven't you walked through the door?

>>2447119
Well that would give you a 50/50 shot at achieving your goal.

>It is not necessary that the liar is guarding the door to hell and the truthful guy is guarding heaven. We are not being idealistic here.

Do I know which is which? If so, "Am I talking to you right now?"

What would the other guy say is the correct door to walk through?

>>2447119
Your task is to find the door to heaven.

ask to any guard "what would the other guard say is the door to heaven?"

then take the opposite of that he says

>>2447123
Yes.

"What door would the other guard say is heaven". No matter which guard you get they both would point tohell.

>>2447153
>"What door would the other guard say is heaven"

I don't know. The other guy is an asshole. HA!

>>2447130
Winner

>>2447153
Made me think too hard.
Assume the liar is guarding heaven, they would answer 'heaven' and you'd be fucked.

>>2447200
Actually, opposite of what i said here.

You know that a woman has two children. You know that one of them is a girl. What are the odds that both children are girls?

>>2447233
1 : 4?

>>2447233
50%

>>2447233
33%

>>2447130

>the guardians know what door they guard

>>2447233

Do hermaphrodite count?

>>2447247
>>2447261
Incorrect.

>>2447264
Correct.

>>2447278
Explain

If you were the other guard, what direction would you give me to heaven?

If you know that the set of children has at least one girl in it, then the possible sets are girl/boy, boy/girl, or girl/girl. Each one has equal probability of being true, so 1 in 3.

>>2447306

girl/boy, boy/girl are not unique sets

>>2447326
Orly? So you think that the odds of a totally random two-child family having one boy and one girl are 1 in 3?

>>2447326
If you have a population of 1000 mothers with two children, they will be approximately:
250 women with two boys
250 women with two girls
500 women with a boy and a girl
Ruling out the women with two boys, you are left with 750 women, 250 of which have two girls, or 1/3

That being said, this is a poorly formed question.

>>2447346

You don't?

Oh yeah, this is like the 'pick a door' game.

There are 3 doors. One has a prize behind it, the other two have nothing.
You pick one.
I then take away one of the other two doors and tell you, "I have just taken away a door that had nothing behind it. Would you like to keep your choice or switch doors?"

What decision gives you the best chance of winning?

>>2447123
ha me too.

I was thinking some type of factual question? Because the liar angel would have to be wrong? Vague rules.

>>2447358
switching door is the best choice, probability-wise.

this was on labyrinth, OP is a faggot.
