"What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"You're trapped in a room with two doors and no other ways out. One door leads to freedom. The other leads to certain death. A knight stands next to each door. One of the knights always tells the truth, and the other knight always lies. You don't know which knight is which. What one question can you ask either knight to figure out which door will lead you to freedom?
This riddle was in the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie.![]()
"If I were to ask the other knight, 'Which door leads to certain death?' what would he tell me?" Whichever door the knight points to is the door that will lead you to freedom.

When I was a kid, I had this one in a book of Mensa Brain Teasers. Their answer was "one."
