Is there a limit to the number of questions you can ask?
First you ask what 2+2 is. Then whoever say 4 is either the truth guy or the shifter. You then ask what color your shirt is. Going on that you imply the liar/truth shifts with every question whichever one tells the truth is the truth and whoever is wrong is the shifter. You then ask the guy you identified as the truth teller which is the gate to heaven.
Its not math its logic
Let's try again.
You can ask each one one question. And you can only ask two questions.
Personally, if it were otherwise I would just identify the truthful guard and ask what the meaning of life is, how many digits there are in pi, will the world really end on 2012, how the heck Australia was inhabited, and the answers to every paradox/unsolved question/dead end in science and mathematics, and if God really exists before going up into heaven. :)
But that's just me.
Actually it is one hundred one ... it is improper to put the "and" in thereQuote:

I hate this question because the accepted "answer" is wrong. You say:Quote:

If you are to re figure the math and say the other door has a 1/2 chance of being the car . so does the one you have chosen.
You can't re figure the odds for one scenario and not the other and say they are even.
No, he is correct.
We know that switching will turn a loss into a win, and a win into a loss.
We know this because after one goat is eliminated, you are left with a goat and a car, switching will always go to the other. The probability of picking a goat in the beginning (win) is 2/3. Therefore, switching will turn a win into a loss 2/3 of the time, so it is in your favor to switch doors.
If your still not convinced, don't take my word for it, try it yourself here.
Maybe where your from dude, but any way you actually say it, will sound like one hundered n one or one hundered and one there will always be something between the hundered, and the one, and in ENGLISH, its correct ;)Quote:

How are the numbers arranged on the cubes?

Actually in English it is NOT correct .. in Spanish it it would ( they use the "y" between thier numbers)Quote:
