Post the hardest riddle ever

A man wakes up in a room.  There are two doors, and two perches with two parrots.  A sign above them says:

"One of these door leads to freedom... the other door leads to certain death.  The two parrot in this room can talk, and both of them know which door is which.  One parrot always tells the truth, the other parrot always lies"

How does the man choose the right door?

EDIT: One question per parrot ONLY

 

There is probably a smarter answer to this but assuming I can ask more than one question I would first say:

Are you a parrot?

So from the answer of the parrot's I would know which one tells the truth and thus direct me to the life saving door. My initial answer was to just throw any parrot in to one of the doors to see if it lives of dies but that was a cheap answer.

I'm currently trying to think of a single question the man can ask that will solve the riddle without having to ask additional questions but nothing comes to mind yet.

 

Yes only 1 question per parrot

 

Parrot 1:Are you a parrot?
If yes, ask parrot 2 Which way to go, and obviously he would be wrong, so you would go the opposite way
if no, ask parrot 2 and follow his directions

Solved

 

The way i would do it would be


You would ask either parrot what the other parrot would say.

If you ask the Parrot who tells the truth: "which door would the other parrot say is freedom"

The truth parrot would point to the death door.

If you ask the lying parrot "which door would the other parrot say is freedom"

The lying parrot would also point to the death door.

So in conclusion ask either parrot that question and you'll find freedom

 

That's kind of hard to understand, my way is easier...

 

what if we replace the parrot with some unknow creature.. than we could not use your way anymore right

anyway here is one i saw somewhere

As originally conceived, the problem can be stated in the following way. Imagine that you are part of a television audience and have three doors on the stage in front of you. The master of ceremonies promises you that there is a car hidden behind one of the doors and invites you to guess which door. Suppose you guess Door #3. After you guess, the master of ceremonies informs you that, of the two doors remaining, the car is not behind Door #1. She then invites you to change your mind and go with Door #2 rather than Door #3. Should you make the switch, should you stay with what you have chosen, or does it make any difference, anyway?"

So does it make any difference

 

easy, ask can you tell the truth >.>Thay'll both say yes..

ask do apples grow.... easy, one says yes, one says no, the one that says no, is ultimately the liar

 

That's the Monty Hall problem. Easy. Switching will result in victory two-thirds of the time, whereas staying will result in only a one-third chance of victory. If the car is in the first door and you switch, you lose. If the car is in the second door and you switch, you win. If the car is in the third door and you switch, you win; quod erat demonstrandum. <-- I always wanted to say that.

 

lol simple math saves the day

variable change

nice one B2X

What am I riddle
see if anyone can answer this riddle excluding the flips

"dumaan si tarzan bumukas ang daan" XD well that's unfair since its a foreign language but ah well

roughly translated (when tarzan went by the road opened up)

 

but that would mean you lose your chance to ask which door lead to death and which door lead to freedom

 

no you ask one parrot that question, so taht you'd know who's the liar, then you proceed and ask which door is the right way to go >.>

 

You know this riddle of yours is vaguely familiar. After some thought processing, I realize, this question was asked in a Yu Gi-Oh! episode, the one where Yugi & his friends were facing the trial of the Labrynth Brothers. ;D

I heard a similar riddle before....

A Traveler stop at a join, one way lead to then good village while the other lead to the bad village, the traveler want to go to the good village but he have no idea which way, on the road came 2 villagers, one alwasy tell the true since he is from the good village while the other alwasy tell lie since he came from the bad village.

So the traveler ask both of them, Bring me to the village that you came from, The one who always tell the true will bring him back to his village which is good village while the one who always lie will still bring the traveler to good village since he lie about where he came from.

but your question is differ since we do not know the origin of the parrot so we cant use that solution.

 

I know that one that's what I was thinking...
