Doorway to Heaven/Hell

There are 2 doors in front of you. One leads to Heaven and the other one leads to Hell. There are 2 guards there. One ALWAYS tells the truth and other one ALWAYS lies. But you don't know who always tells the truth and who always lies. You can only ask the guards ONE question and you have to ask the same question to both guards. What you are trying to find out is which door leads to Heaven and which door leads to Hell. What question do you ask them?

The answer is...
Ask each one "What will the other one say is the door to heaven?" They will both point to the door to Hell.


The Missing Dollar

Three men go into a hotel. The manager tells them there is only one room available and is willing to rent the room for $30. The three men agree and each pay the manager $10. After some time the manager decides he has charged the men too much for the room. He calls the bellboy and says: "Go and give this $5 back to the three men." The bellboy is on his way as he realizes that the three men can't split the $5 equally so he decides to keep $2 for himself and gives each of the men $1 back.Now each of the three men have paid $9 for the room. That makes $27 in total. The bellboy kept $2 for himself. That makes $29 in total. But there was $30 originally. Where is the missing $1?

The answer is...
Actually, there is no $1 missing. The three men paid $27 in total (not $30!). The manager charged $25. And the bellboy kept $2 for himself. So $25 (manager) + $2 (bellboy) = $27 (what the three men paid).
