    It always bugged me that the liar participates in explaining the rules. That, and they never explaing that saying “It’s a piece of cake” is the reason she falls down to those creepy grabby hands.

    As a kid, I always assumed she went through the wrong door despite solving the riddle because the rules of the game were explained by a liar, and that they were both liars.

      saying “It’s a piece of cake” is the reason she falls down

      Holy shit is that the reason why Jareth gets so pissy when Sarah says it again down in the tunnels and sends in the cleaners?

    Take chicken to other side. Return and pick up the fox. Take the chicken back to the starting point and pick up the grain. Leave grain with fox and return for chicken.

    Since you can only ever leave the grain and fox together, your hand is forced at every step. The order of the grain and fox is arbitrary.

    The fox, the grain, and then the chicken

    Edit: no wait, you’re still leaving the grain alone with the chicken. So you take the chicken across, then go back for the grain. You drop the grain off, and take the chicken back with you, then drop the chicken off and take the fox and take it across, then go back for the chicken

      take your woodchipper, chip up guard A. point to guard b, then the woodchipper: ja or da. point to guard c, do the same. then tell them you are coming back with the woodchipper if you don’t like what you find through the door, and ask them to point to which door you should go through. pointing doesn’t require words.

      edit: wait I know, don’t ask questions, just open doors, throw the guards through and see what happens. whoever survives, take that door
