Imagine that you in a room with two doors and a guardian is standing in front of each door. One of the doors opens to a very good place. The other one opens to a very bad place. But you don’t know which door opens to good place and which door open to bad place. You know that one of the guardians tells the true, the other one tells the opposite of the true. But yu don’t know which guardian tells the true. You want to go to the good place. You have only one right to ask a question to the one of the guardians.

This is a very old conundrum. You should ask one of the guards:
“If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to the good place, which door would they indicate?” You should then go through the OTHER door.

You would ask it like this..”If I asked the other guard, which door would he says leads to Paradise?” Then take the door opposite to what he told you. Regardless of whom you ask, they’ll point to the wrong door.
EDIT, few seconds too late.
