:(
The question she asks is "will he tell me that this is the door that leads to the castle", or somesuch, and he answers yes and then she goes into an explanation that leaves me scratching my head.

I'd so die on that test.

And the knocker says yes.
This means:

Assuming it's the LYING knocker, then the honest knocker would *not* tell her that was the way to the castle. Therefore, it's not the way to the castle.

Assuming it's the HONEST knocker, then the lying knocker *would* tell her that's the way to the castle, which would obviously be a lie. Therefore, it's not the way to the castle.

That's why she chooses the other door.

So she should take the other door
Because no matter which one she asks "will he tell me that this is the door that leads to the castle" they will both say yes if its the wrong door.

She has to ask what ANDREW MARR would say.
