相遇萊特堡

  
先來看一下場面，地點在全美赫赫有名的醫科大學Johns Hopkins，由馬里蘭州教育單位主辦，這是資優教育獎Excellence in Gifted and Talented Education (EGATE) Award頒獎前的聚餐。

  
如此別緻的邀請函是種子卡片喔，信封和卡片由許多野花種子壓製而成，收件人可以埋至土裡，既綠化又環保。這是小女兒的猶太同學寄來的生日宴會邀請函，Bat Mitzvah猶太人慶祝女兒十二歲或十三歲生日的典禮，女孩在這天被視為心智成熟，必須為自身行為負責，可以自己研讀猶太律法書Torah，但並非是可以婚嫁之齡。

 
好啦，希望想猜的朋友都已經試過了，現在公佈答案。
 
            第一題，選任何一位守衛，問他：「你覺得另一位守衛會說選哪個門比較安全？」或是：「你覺得另一個守衛會說哪個門不安全？」不管他的答案是什麼，都選相反的門。為什麼呢？因為如果你問的守衛誠實，那麼他就會誠實說另一個說謊的守衛會叫你開有老虎的門，所以相反的門才安全。
