actually there a very large list of questions you coul ask such as what gender am i et all....

Right but you can only ask one question and it has to tell you which door to go through.

Are you only allowed to ask one guard the question?

You're trapped in a room, with two doors on either end.
One door is rigged with explosives, and if you go through it you will die.
The other leads to the outside world, and freedom.
In front of each door is a guard.
One guard always tells the truth, and the other always lies.
You don't know which guard is in front of which door,
but there is one question you can ask either guard that will allow you to escape.

What is this question and how do you use the response to escape?

You ask either guard 'which door would the other guard tell me is rigged with explosives?'

Whichever door the guard says, you go through the other one. (EDIT: Should have said, you go through that one)

Wait a minute, I'll think of a riddle. (If I don't post one within ten minutes then feel free to post another one yourselves!)

No.
You could ask the guard who always tells the truth

"Which door will the other guard tell me is rigged with explosives?"

The truthful guard will tell you the one he is guarding, knowing that the other guard would lie.

Wait....was DROMO right???

BungalowBill was right, I got it the wrong way around. You ask which one the other guard would say is rigged with explosives and either way, the door which you are told will be the one without explosive. That's because you're either being told a lie truthfully, or being lied to about an honest answer (makes sense?)

Did you already know the answer? Because that was pretty quick...

Edit: No, you were right the first time. You go through the opposite one.
