A Prince came to an Evil Wizard to ask for the release of his beloved Princess, who is locked behind one of three doors. The Evil Wizard offered to release the Princess if the Prince was able to correctly guess which door she was behind. And with this offer, the Evil Wizard gave three hints: 1) The Princess is locked behind door 1 2) A fire-breathing Dragon is locked behind door 2. 3) There is also someone locked behind door 3 The Prince realized that all three hints were false, and with the help of logic, understood which door the Princess was locked behind. Which door was it?

Answer:

Princess is behind 2

Explanation:

If all 3 hints are false, then the princess is not behind 1 ( so it must be 2 or 3)

The dragon is not behind 2 ( so it must be 1 or 3)

The is no one behind 3

That means the princess cannot be behind 3 and the dragon cannot be behind 3

The princess is behind 2 and the dragon is behind 1
