You are in a room with 2 doors leading out.
Behind 1 door is a coffer overflowing with
jewels and gold, along with an exit. Behind the
other door is an enormous, hungry lion that
will pounce on anyone opening the door. You
do not know which door leads to the treasure
and exit, and which door leads to the lion. In
the room you are in are 2 individuals. The first
is a knight, who always tells the truth, and a
knave, who always lies. Both of these
individuals know what is behind each door.
You do not know which individual is the
knight, or which one is the knave. You may ask
one of the individuals exactly 1 question. What
should you ask in order to be certain that you
will open the door with the coffer behind it,
instead of the hungry lion?

Answer: You ask one of the
individuals what the other
one would say if you asked
him which door is holding
back the hungry lion and
then open this door.
