The Royal Love Story!

You’re a knight in love with a princess. Unfortunately, the king knows you’re poor and disapproves of the match.

On the night of a great feast, the king calls you up before his men and presents a golden box. In it are two folded slips of paper. One, he announces, reads “Marriage,” the other “Death.” “Choose one,” he says.

Pretending to stir the fire, the princess manages to whisper that both slips say “Death.” But the king and his men are waiting, and you cannot escape now.

What should you do?

This is how you can escape! 

Getting Your Love - 'The Princess'

What was the biggest challenge in getting that?

All you need to do is take either slip & drop it into the fire.

Now you can say, "Sorry, I couldn't manage to read my fate. But we have option to read what it was. It must be the opposite of what other slip reads.".

And obviously, other slip has 'Death' is written so no one can object that one that dropped in fire must had 'Marriage'. Any claim saying other too had 'Death' would raise the question of credibility of the king directly; so no one would dare to claim that.

A Door Of Fate Or Logics?

A prisoner is faced with a decision where he must open one of two doors. Behind each door is either a lady or a tiger. They may be both tigers, both ladies or one of each.

If the prisoner opens a door to find a lady he will marry her and if he opens a door to find a tiger he will be eaten alive. Of course, the prisoner would prefer to be married than eaten alive :).

Each of the doors has a statement written on it. The statement on door one says, “In this room there is a lady, and in the other room there is a tiger.”

The statement on door two says, “In one of these rooms there is a lady, and in one of these rooms there is a tiger.”
 
The prisoner is informed that one of the statements is true and one is false.

Which door should the Prisoner open?

This should be his choice!

Logical Choice Of Door

What were the choices?

For a moment, let's assume that first statement is true. The lady is behind the Door 1 and tiger is behind the Door 2. But this makes statement 2 also true where it says there is tiger behind one of these door & lady behind one of these doors. Hence, the statement 1 can't be true.

Hence, statement 2 must be true.

Only possibilities left are -

Door 1 - Tiger
Door 2 - Tiger

Door 1 - Lady
Door 2 - Lady

Door 1 - Tiger
Door 2 - Lady.

Since, the true second statement is suggesting there is lady behind 1 & tiger behind the other door, the possibilities of both tigers or ladies are eliminated.

That's why behind Door 1 is tiger & behind Door 2 is lady.
