Re: Brainteaser

A wise king devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess' hand in marriage. The Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.
The rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc). One suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. What did he do?

He asked her to come to him.
What a nice polite boy
You're standing before two doors.
One door leads to paradise.
The other to door leads to death.
In front of each door is a guard.
One guard always tells the truth.
The other always lies.
You may ask one question.
How do you decide which door?

You ask one of the guards, "if I ask the other guard if his door leads to paradise, what will he answer?"

There are 20 people in an empty square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body or moving in any way (other than the eyes). Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?
