[QUOTE="reveal, post: 1725230, member: 1236"] Definitely an oldie but a goodie. By far, my favorite incarnation of this puzzle is from "[URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207275/]The 10th Kingdom[/URL]." Basically, father, daughter and her boyfriend just get done sneaking into the basement of the castle. They had to sneak past guards, swim underwater for a few minutes and go through all kinds of crud to get there. Anyway, as soon as they emerge from the water, they find two doors. A bullfrog is on a pedestal on the opposite end of the room. He says something to the effect of "One door will lead to certain death; the other to what you seek." The daughter and boyfriend start discussing the riddle. The father, short tempered at this point, says "Enough of this," picks up the bullfrog "Wait! What are you doing?! This is not the way to..." and opens up one of the doors, THROWS THE BULLFROG IN IT and slams the door. A few seconds later an explosion is heard behind the door. "I guess we use the other door then." :lol: [/QUOTE]
