A Doorway to Paradise

Imagine that when you die, you will find yourself in a room with two doors, one leading to eternal paradise and teh other leading to eternal damnation. You can choose which door to walk through, but the trouble is that the doors are unmarked.

Each door has a guard, and you can ask each guard one "yes" or "no" question before you make your fateful choice. One of the two guards will always answer truthfully and the other other guard will always lie. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which guard is which.

What question should you ask on of the guards to ensure that you wind up in paradise?

  1. i will ask the first guard if i have blue eyes(knowing tht you dnt have blue eyes),, if he says yes then i will know he is lieing,, if he says no,, then i know he is telling the truth,,.. lets juss say he said yes,, i will kno tht he is lieing,, so i will ask the next guard if the door he is guarding is paradise,, knowing tht he will answer truthfully,, you will believe him,,
