    It always bugged me that the liar participates in explaining the rules. That, and they never explaing that saying “It’s a piece of cake” is the reason she falls down to those creepy grabby hands.

    As a kid, I always assumed she went through the wrong door despite solving the riddle because the rules of the game were explained by a liar, and that they were both liars.

      saying “It’s a piece of cake” is the reason she falls down

      Holy shit is that the reason why Jareth gets so pissy when Sarah says it again down in the tunnels and sends in the cleaners?

    If one of you always lies, can’t I just assume the one to explain the premise is the one that tells the truth?

    The fox, the grain, and then the chicken

    Edit: no wait, you’re still leaving the grain alone with the chicken. So you take the chicken across, then go back for the grain. You drop the grain off, and take the chicken back with you, then drop the chicken off and take the fox and take it across, then go back for the chicken
