Riddles!

[Dodger]

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth

Ask one of the doors (for simplicity say the door on the right), "Would the other door tell me that this door leads to the City of Truth?"

If he says yes, and is telling the truth that must mean the other door is lying, so the door on the right will lead to the City of Truth.
If he says yes, and is lying, then he is lying about what the other door will say, meaning still that the door on the right will lead to the City of Truth.

If he says no, then the same conditions apply as before, but the door on the left will be the right one. 

Rather detailed explanation, but that's one of my favorite riddles.

If he says yes, and is lying, then he is lying about what the other door will say, meaning still that the door on the right will lead to the City of Truth.

If he says no, then the same conditions apply as before, but the door on the left will be the right one.
