The classic riddle, something along the lines of this:
There are two men, one who tells the truth and the other always lies. You don't know which is which. There is a door to life and a door to death. You don't know which is which. The guards are aware of each other's traits. What question do you ask one of the men so that you can go through the door to life if you don't know which man is which and which door is which?
The Answer is traditionally been credited as

Ask one of the guards what the other guard would say is behind his door. The answer he gives is what in fact lies behind his own door.

If one always lies, ask an obvious question you know the answer to. E.g "Do I have two heads?" Then from the guards reply you will know whether he is a liar or not.
