Just thought I'd start a topic on Brain Teasers.
I know a fair few, so I'll post 'em up if this takes off.
Feel free to post yours up as well - see if you can outwit me!
If you're the first to post the correct answer, you will win...er, the respect of your fellow man. Thats all I can offer - sorry.

A Man lives at the top of a 10 storey building. Everyday he catches a perfectly working lift down to the 1st floor and goes to work, however when he returns from work he catches the lft to the 7th floor and walks up 3 plight of stairs to get back to his apartment...
he does this everyday..
why doesn't he just go to the tenth floor when he returns from work and instead get off at the 7th?
Scroll down 4 the answer...

I only worked out yours actually worked after reading it through again..

Or alternatively, any other permutation of the same question involving the words 'if I asked' and 'which way is safe'...
No, the answer is:
"Which way would the other man tell me to go if I asked which door was safe?"
If you asked the truth telling guy, he would tell you the way to death.
If you asked the liar-guy he would also tell you the way to death, because he would lie about what the truth-telling guy would say.
So you would take the other path, that none of them said to go to.
You see?

Surely the truthteller will point you to the lethal one if you ask him which way to death?
The answer to this question is "If I asked you whether this door was safe, what would you say?"
The one who tells the truth will tell the truth.
The one who lies would lie about what he would say 'if you asked him whether it was the safe door' (which he would also lie to), and so he'd end up telling the truth. He had to lie about lying, y'see?
