What has forests but no trees, mountains but no snow, and rivers but no water?

You're stuck in a room with a choice of three escapes...Behind one is a grenade linked to the door, behind another is an axe wielding maniac, behind the third is a tiger which hasn't eaten in months. Which is the door to survival?

You are in a room with two doors. One leads to freedom, the other to instant death. There are two guards - one always tells the truth the other always lies. You are allowed to ask one guard a single question. What do you ask?

'If I ask the other guard which door is safe, what will he say?'

Then choose the other door.

I'm sure there's a proper answer to this but it came up in a game we played once where you had to come up with an end to the story. We decided he was in the hotel because he'd ordered a hit on his wife. When he phoned her and she didn't answer he knew she was dead so he was able to sleep.

Ha, yes, I must say I've not heard that, nor the burgling answer, but must say I thought the 'proper' answer was weak.
