OK Riddle Time Everyone....

[AndrewT]

Dear All,

As 'promised' it's Riddle Time,

It's the Day Before School starts (in Non Covid times) and there has been 'Murder Most Foul'.... one of the 'Ancillary' Workers has been found 'Done In', by the Bike Sheds...Time for 'SheerLuck' to investigate. The only People in the School, at the time were The Teacher, The Handyman, The Gardener and The Cook. So Sheerluck, And PC Plodd, interview the Suspects.....

The Gardener says "Well oy Waz Plantin' Or'l th' Day. Gotta do the Plantin, else no-one can Eat".

The Teacher said "Well actually I was Marking Exam Papers, The whole time, I'm afraid."

The Cook said "Me? Oh well, Me... I was in the Kitchen, Where else would a Cook be?"

The Handyman said "To be Honest, I'm not too sure, there are So Many 'Bits' to Sort out, in SO little time... Could have been anywhere."

Sheerluck immediately Arrested.... The Teacher, how come?

You have a Small Boat, able to 'take' you and ONE other 'thing' across the river. Your Problem is that you need to safely 'cross' A Bird, A Cat and A Fox. If you leave the Bird & The Cat, the BIRD gets eaten. If you Leave The Fox& The Cat. the CAT gets eaten. You can safely leave the Bird And Fox together however. Equally, the animals will NOT attack, each other, when you are present.

How can you Safely 'Cross' all three?

You find yourself in a Strange Room- I'm not going to 'worry' too much, how you got there. In front of you are Three Doors.

One Door, leads to a Never Ending Labyrinth- in which you will slowly die.

The second Door leads to a Lion's Den and the Lions haven't been Fed for months.

The Third Door leads to the ocean, the nearest Land is Many miles away- much too far to swim.... and there is No boat either.

Which Door will you use, and why?

Again you are 'Trapped', this time in a Castle (I'll let you 'Fill In' the story, up to this point). This time there are Only Two Doors, both with a 'Robot' outside each. One Door leads to Freedom (not only from the Castle, but also from these Riddles!) the other 'gives' Instant Death.

One Robot ALWAYS tells the TRUTH, the other ALWAYS LIES. you can ask either Robot only ONE question, to secure your Freedom. What is it? (This Riddle CAN be solved, it is not a Trick).

Answers on a 'Postcard' please.
