reading through this thread i can determine 1/2 of the people didn't read the question right. do you know the name of this riddle? maybe we can find the answer online lol.
As long as darkness flows through my veins, I will never cease, As long as my dreams still haunt me, I will never show mercy, and as long as evil lives I will never die.....

No no no, you miss the point. before you even ask a question you kick a guard in the balls. Then you ask the other guard if he wants a kick too, and depending on that answer you can deduce whether or not he's lying or telling the truth, becuase let's face it, nobody wants to be kicked in the balls.
But all this is given you an ask two questions, and Invisible says you can only ask one question to both of them..
Hmm..
"Would it be funny if I kicked the guard infront of the happiness door in the nuts?"
Whatever answer you get from either of them doesn't matter. The one infront of the happiness door would most certianly not find it funny, and the one infront of the death door could possibly be lying and say no as well.
In the instance that they both give the no answer, take the opportunity to kick one of them in the balls. If the remaining guard laughs, (lets face it, he will) then you know he was a liar and is standing infront of the death door. If the other guard doesn't laugh, then he was telling the truth and you just kicked the liar in the nuts, who was standing infront of the door of happiness.
There you have it takesandgoez, a viable solution to Invisible's enigma.

Ask them if they would like a cup of coffee(everyone likes coffee). Lead them to another room, open each door and look inside.

Well, obviously you must discard one of the guard's answers becuase he could be telling either the truth or a lie, so the response from one of them is indeterminable.
I'm almost about to say it's an impossible question due to that variable, becuase no matter which guard you pick you are searching for a pattern, and seeing as how a guard that lies/tells truth randomly regardless of a question you really can't get a definate answer in a logical sense.
Can the question be directed towards just one guard, or do both guards have to be able to answer the question?
