For the second one, is the liar necessarily guarding the door to death?

You would ask guard A if guard B would say the door guard B is guarding leads to life. If the answer is "yes", then guard B is guarding the door to life, and if the answer is "no", then guard A is guarding the door to life.

Nah, that doesn't work, because you don't know which guard lies and which guard tells the truth. Or maybe I'm just not getting it :thumbsup:

You are in a room with 2 doors -- one leads further into the dungeon, one leads to freedom. There are two guards in the room, one at each door. One always tells the truth. One always lies. What one question can you ask one of the guards that will help you pick the door to freedom?

If you just wanted to determine which one tells the truth and which lies, you would ask: "If I were to ask the other guard whether you always tell the truth, what would he say?" A reply of "no" means you are talking to the truth teller, a reply of "yes" means you are talking to the liar. So since you only have one question to select the right door, you would have to ask "If I were to ask the other guard, which door would he say leads to freedom?" You would then select the door opposite to the one he picked.

I'm sure it works, but i'm too baked right now to test it out.
