BRAIN TEASER CHALLENGE!!
Here is our Web Site brain teaser, designed to get those little grey cells working. Are you up to the challenge?

We are in a cell deep below a King's castle where we find a prisoner and the King who offers him the chance of freedom. There are two doors to his cell and he is told that he can choose which one to go out by.

Behind one lies the King's daughter who he can then marry. He will receive a large dowry and be given servants and a castle of his own. Hoever, if he chooses the the wrong one then he will find an executioner and certain death.

In his cell are two armed guards. One guard must always tell the truth, whilst the other must always lie, but the prisoner does not know which is which; neither does he know which door leads to wealth and freedom nor which leads to death. He is told that he can ask just one question of one of the guards before making his choice. The King then leaves saying he will return the following morning.

The following day the King enters the cell and the prisoner immediately goes out of the right door to be greeted by the King's daughter.

Now .... what was the ONE question he asked?
