Not only are you incorrect, you said it wrong as well. It's how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Come on! Get with the program, slackmonkey! |

EDIT: Erstwhile is correct, and I am an idiot. I was thinking of a different wording and so I got messed up.
I deleted the explanation here because it's wrong!

One last try.
Ask one door keeper "If I asked the other doorkeeper which door leds to heaven, what would he say."
Doorkeeper A = lie
Doorkeeper B = truth
Door 1 = heaven
Door 2 = hell
Ask A what door would B say leads to heavan. A will tell you that B would say door 2, because A would always tell a lie. Thus, pick door 1.
Ask B what door would A say leads to heavan. B will tell you that A would say door 2 because A would always tell a lie. Thus pick door 1.
You would always pick the door which you were NOT told to pick.

Which door will the other person say he would choose? Then pick the other door.

How about, "Point to the door that the other person will say they would choose?"
The Liar will point to the Hell door (because Truth would say Heaven), and Truth will point to the Hell door (because the Liar would lie and not say the Heaven door, but the Hell door).

How do you know they would both want to choose Heaven? What if one of them was a Satanist and was just itching to go to Hell? Hmmmm? That would throw a little glitch in things, woulnd't it?

This is very true-- what if you went with a different premise such as which door leads to ice cream and which to cake? It would be a personal choice. You would need to know which is heaven (ice cream) and which is hell (cake).
