The liar wouldn't though, you'd get 2 different answers. You need to ask "what does the other bloke say leads to salvation" - the truth-teller would tell you the other door, and the liar would tell you his door, so you go for the opposite door

Clever boy!

Ask both "What door would the other bloke say leads to the door of salvation?"

But you would need to ask your question 'does the liar stand by the door of death?'' to both of them

If you are facing the door of Damnation they will both say no and

If you are facing the door of Salvation they will both say yes.

 

But you, don't know which door you are in front of in the first place and you can only ask each guy one question

Precisely.

 

Therefore, if the answer is 'yes', leave by that door; if the answer is 'no', leave by the other door. It doesn't require you to know anything, and you only need to ask one man, one question,

Oh bugger. Not the first time I've made a thread without checking if one already existed that hasn't been posted in for over 18 months...

I wouldn’t worry about it, on the football forum we can have several different threads about the same player and sometimes even on the same page.

All your threads are really good!

The word "queue" is just a "Q" with 4 silent letters. 

 

 

They are all vowels by the way.

It's the bloody French innit.

The action of the transformation of audible words to visible information.

That's why I refuse to speak French as it's a complete faux par which led us right up a communication cul de sac.

Cue doesn't even have a "Q" in it.

Queueing ( which is a correct spelling ) has 5 vowels in a row. Is this a record?

The word "Chalmondley" is pronounced "Chumlee". It's written like a great Knight's name and pronounced like a hillbilly's

EDIT: I'm out of posts for the day and just read Buce's reply. If anyone reads this can they ask Buce to give me the 3 I haven't included here. I must know them but can't for the life of me think of them. Thanks.
