You would ask one of the birds which door he would pick if he was the other bird.
One always tells the truth, one always lies. |
Ok, so you got the easy one. Which is fairly easy.
|
I disagree, that method would not tell you which door is which.
The evil bird may want to send the good bird to hell, he may not, equally, the good bird may want to send the evil bird to heaven, or he may not.
None of these points is outlined in the original puzzle, and therefore cannot/shouldn't be assumed.
Equally, it is assuming that the one of the birds is aware of the other bird's prediliction to truth or lies.
Personally, I would ask one of the birds if it was a bird. If it replied yes, then it could be assumed to be the truthful bird, and the other bird the liar. I would then ask the lying bird which door was which, and do the opposite of his response.
If the bird replied 'no' to the 'are you a bird' question, it would be the lying bird, I would then ask the other bird which door was which and assume his response to be truthful.
That, however, is assuming that the birds are self-aware, something which is not mentioned in the riddle. ____________________ Space Monkey #7

Your answer assumes a) that the birds know that the other lies/tells the truth.
This is not outlined in the original riddle.
Your answer also assumes that good bird wants heaven, bad bird wants hell. This is not outlined in the original riddle.
Perhaps the good bird did something terrible during his life and thinks he deserves to go to hell. Perhaps he has told the evil bird this. Does your answer still work now?
 |
True it does assume these things, I meant to put that in my post. I think we can safely assume the birds want to go to heaven. The good bird is good, the bad bird is bad (in wanting the good bird to go to hell). |

Oh, well, if we are assuming things, then I'm assuming the birds are self-aware.
I would ask one bird the following question:
If you are a bird, tell me which door is heaven, but if you are not a bird, tell me which door is hell.
The truthful bird would reply: I am a bird, door x is heaven.
The lying bird would reply: I am not a bird, door x is hell.
God mode done.
