Logic Puzzles Raymond Smullyan is one of today’s foremost writers of logic puzzles. Smullyan proposed a question, based on the classic Frank Stockton short story, in which a prisoner must make a choice between two doors: Behind one is a beautiful lady, and behind the other is a hungry tiger. What if each door has a sign, and the prisoner knows that only one sign is true? The sign on Door 1 reads: In this room there is a lady and in the other room there is a tiger. The sign on Door 2 reads: In one of these rooms there is a lady and in one of these rooms there is a tiger. With this information, determine what is behind each door. Source: The Lady or the Tiger?
