Mr. Kevin was reading a newspaper and came across an article about the death of a woman in the Swiss Alps. Reading that Dr. Jones’ wife had accidentally fallen to her death while skiing, Mr. Kevin went to the police and told them Dr. Jones had murdered his wife. After questioning by the police, Dr. Jones confessed to the crime. How did Mr. Kevin know what happened?
Show Answer
Mr. Kevin was a travel agent who had booked their trip to the Alps. The husband had bought two tickets going there, but only one ticket home — he knew his wife would die.
Kevin is in a room with two doors. One leads to heaven, the other leads to hell. There are two guards in the room as well: one tells the truth and the other always lies. He doesn’t know who is who; Kevin can ask only 1 question, which question will allow him to figure out which door to go through?
Show Answer
Ask: “What would the other guard say is the correct door?” Then pick the door that they aren’t pointing to.
