you are shown two doors (one leading to hell and the second one to heaven) and only the door guards know what is behind the doors. one guard is always lying and the other is always telling the truth (of course, you don't know who is lying). you can ask only one guard one question. What question can get you to heaven?

you ask the gaurd of one of the doors, "what will the other gaurd say if i asked him, where does this door lead to?"
whatever the answer he gives, the opposite is the correct answer.
Okay, so you ask the guards, "What will the other guard say if I asked where does this door lead to?"
While pointing to the first door.
Pretend that the first door would take you to hell.
The guard that always tells the truth would tell you that the other guard (The one that always lies) would tell you that it the door to heaven, because they're presuming that the guard that always tells the truth knows that the other always lies.
Whereas the guard that always lies would tell you that the other guard would tell you it was the door to heaven... assuming that he knows that the other would always tell the truth.
So, in the end, it's like some twisted version of reverse physcology.

I don't like you.

1. Say my name and I disappear.
2. I demand answers, but I ask no questions.
3. I have keys that don't unlock anything. I have space, but I have no rooms. You can enter, but you can not exit.
4. Feed me and I will grow, but quench my thirst and I will die.
5. I have eyes, but I cannot see. I have hands, but I cannot touch. I have feet, but I cannot walk.
6. I run, but never walk. I have a mouth, but it cannot talk. I have a bed, but I never sleep.
7. The rich want it, the poor have it, and if you eat it, you will die.

You're trapped in a windowless, doorless room. There is no way in and no way out. All you have with you is a table and a saw. How do you escape?
