It wouldn't surprise me if that solution that he supposedly have doesn't exactly exist. :P



None.

Edit: You know what, A_of-s_t's solution proves to be the most effective.
I just now looked it up and this is actually the type of solution that Wikipedia and every other site uses. I have no fucking idea how cheeze does it.
I looked up the answer online yesterday and found a slightly different answer that DOES result in at most 1 death. I won't give the answer, but it involves even/odd numbers.

My answer only leaves one death as well (AT MOST). I read the exact same site that discussed odd and even groups. They usually discuss small groups where people can pass (our riddle never said they could pass) or everyone could answer at the same time.

Lulz. My answer had to do with xors and shit. It does the same thing as even and odd I'm fairly certain.

(It goes like this, assign black as 1 and white as 0; then the first person xors everything. His answer is the solution to the equation. The next person can then xor all the guys in front and himself and have that equal the first guy's answer. The next guy then xors everything in front with himself with the person behind so it equals the first guy's answer. This goes on until the last guy. Etc)

I'd rather this topic not die. Here's the next riddle...

When is a door not a door?



None.

No.

There's gates used in microchips, they work as AND, XOR, NOR, etc.
So gate = door, or does it really to be exactly door?

It's a stupid riddle. The answer "when it's a jar". As in ajar, meaning open. Someone else do one now. :ermm:

Yea, I saw that answer on "The Critic" yesterday. LOL

There are two doors in front of you. Behind one door is gold and tons of money. 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 which door leads to the lion. In front of the doors 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 gold behind it, instead of the hungry lion?

Ask "Would you kindly open that door over there?" When he opens the door, if it's the gold/money, you take the gold/money. If it's the lion, the knight kills it and you go open the other door.

It totally works >>

LUL, I never thought about that :P. KillerKow wins through creativity, but there is another answer.

Because obviously the knight has a weapon and armor on him at the moment. Hell if he did you would just ask which is the door and you'd know who to ask since the knight would have some pwnage lvl70 armor. >:U

"Are you a liar?"

Knight: No
Knave: ITS PARADOX TIME.

Knaves = hackerz and scammers, duh. Not like getting enigmas off of unsuspecting noobs is hard in D2.

"Is there a liar in front of the treasure door?"
The answer is "Yes", if you asked the guy infront of the lion door (nomatter if Knight or Knave).
The answer is "No", if you asked the guy infront of the treasure door.
