First of all, Labyrinth scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. I was 14.
Secondly, This thing always messed with my mind. If I ever did this, I would never win. In fact I’d probably just climb up the wall and see what’s on the other side first.

When I saw the first panel of this, the 8 year-old child in my head screamed “Labryinth! David Bowie!”.
And then the flashbacks began. The muppets that tore themselves apart, and Return to Oz haunted my childhood. *shivers*

I would just ask “how many fingers am I holding up?”
Of course there’s always the danger that the door was lying about one of them always telling the truth.

Hahaha! My friend is obsessed with Dr. Who. I love your comic, by the way. It is the awesomes.

First, I would ask which door to go through. Then I would throw an axe at one and watch them freak out.

I think this is my favourite one

one problem though- it doesn’t say which door the treasure is behind. the door of truth or the door of lies?

Sam, the problem is actually soluble without knowing that beforehand.

SPOILER
To confirm erisiantaoist’s assertion, here’s a question that would work:
If you were the other door, which door would you tell me to use to find the treasure? [Then you go through the opposite door they tell you.]

i like veggies and it wouldn’t be a great loss anyways because i didn’t have the treasure to start with. In short: i wouldn’t care……..

If you know one of them always lies, then you can’t be sure their information is accurate. The one that lies tells you the rules.
But it lied about there being a door that tells the truth, because both of them lie.
(overanalysis much?)

Alternatively, ask either which door the other guy would tell me to take. Then take the opposite.
