My question.. two men are standing outside identical doors, one door leads to paradise, the other will see a swift kick to the groin. One of the men always lies, the other always tells the truth, you do not know which is lying and which is telling the truth.

You can only ask one question to one man, what do you ask in order to know which door leads to paradise?

Ask where you can rent a copy of Labyrinth.

Ask one if the sky is blue, ask the other if that is the door to paradise that way you can work out which one the lyer is. And invert the result from the other if they are lying.

My question.what is the square root of -1?

Then you fail because you can ask one man one question, not each man one question

and i

PersonA = !TRUTH
PersonB = TRUTH

Ask Person what other person would say, ie

PersonA = ![PersonB(TRUTH)]
PersonB = [PersonA(!TRUTH)]

Either way, you just negate again and you get it.

can you believe its not butter?

Yep :)

If you divide 1 into 3 you get 0.333333...

But if you multiply 0.333333.... by 3 you get 0.9999999...... What happened to the last little bit? :(

Let us set 0.99999 (recurring) equal to 'a'. Therefore 10a = 9.99999 (recurring).

From the values above: 9a = 10a - a = 9.99999 - 0.99999 = 9. Therefore a = 1 = 0.99999 (recurring).

Your last little bit does not exist - they are the same number.

why, in a forum filled with geeks, lovely lovely geeks, does a nerd always have to turn up and spoil things by making us look bad?

My apologies, I must be in a particularly smart-:censored: mood tonight. No more algebra related answers from me. Now I'm going to quote my previous reply which seems to be getting more and more appropriate by the minute right now.:(

Now, my question. Why do I never feel the need to go to sleep until I really should be waking up!?
