Sorry that ain't gonna cut it since I may have missed a word or two or maybe implied.

Your only going to ask one question of one guard or the other to get one answer.

Otherwise it is too easy.

You can't give half a riddle and expect to tell someone they're wrong..... That's cheatin' in my book, and not even funny.

Ok, again sorry to ruin your night. But here try this. It is written much better that I did.

Hildegarde was taken to the dungeon and presented with two doors, each protected by a single guard. One door led to freedom and the other door to a hungry lion. Hildegarde was allowed to ask one question of one guard of her choice. The question was limited to a yes/no answer. Hildegarde knew that this was a tricky pair of guards: one would always lie and the other would always tell the truth. The guards knew behind which door lay freedom and which door led to the lions, and knew who was the liar and who was the truth sayer. But how was Hildegarde to know the difference? Hildegarde devised a way and went happily on her way. What was the question?

Will the other guard say YOU have the door to freedom? And if the guard answered yes Hildegarde knew she was at the door to the lion and if the guard replied no, she knew she was standing in front of freedom.

Yes, Google is my friend. I put the whole riddle into the search and found a whole slew of riddles. You can't fool me now, well, at least if they come from that site.

You build a simple cabin. All four sides of the cabin have a window, and each window faces south. A bear walks past one of the windows. What color is the bear?
