Riddle:
You die and approach 2 doors. One door leads to Heaven, and the other to hell, but you don't know which one.
Each door has a gaurdian in front of it. One gaurdian wants you to go to hell, and he always lies. The other gaurdian wants you to go to heaven, and he always tells the truth. You do not know which one is the liar or truth-teller.
The liar stands in front of the door leading to hell. The truth-teller stands in front of the door leading to heaven.
The object is to decide which door leads to Heaven. In order to do this, you must ask both gaurdians the same question. The correct question will reveal which door leads to heaven.
keep in mind the liar wants you to go to hell, and the truth teller wants you to go to heaven.
Good Luck and have fun!
(If you know it, don't give it away, let them think.)
(and it is possible )

Ask something that you know holds true for both of them.
"Are you guarding this door?"
"Am I talking to you?"
"Are you standing on the floor?"
The one who lies (and is thus guarding the door to hell) will say something you know isn't true, like "I am not guarding this door."

jules got it
You could also ask one of the guards this:
"which door will the OTHER guard tell me THIS door leads to"
The answer will lie in his answer.
Takes some thinking but it works.
Take the scenario like this:
the guard you ask answers "Heaven". If he is telling the truth, the other guard will lie and this door really leads to HELL.
If he is lying, than the other guard will really say HELL, thus telling the truth about what is behind this door, and so that is the right answer again... works the other way too if he answers hell... Mind bender.

Very nice. However I never thought about what juliana said.
The one about asking what the other one would say is the way I heard it.
