My is a pun on the kind of PI.
Riddle

A baker made a pie, but no one could eat it. Why?

answer

Spoiler:

This is the Pie he made



He wanted to see if PI was 3.141592. So He made a Pizza very careful making sure it was a circle, Measured both the circumference C and the diameter d. He found Pi and found out it was indeed that.

I think C-square you up.

[c-square]

Sure.  Easy palindrome:

When asked about how the produce shortage had affected his supply, the fruit seller replied:

" _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _  ,  _ _  _ _ _ _ _ "

Lol, that's why  the required answer is a PALINDROME,

alright here is a puzzle I once heard

There are 3 doors all next to each other, 2 lead to a trap and the other leads your way out. You want your way out naturally but you can't be sure which way is out and you can't go back once you went though the door.

Hesitantly you picked the door on the right to open but wait, you remembered you have a bottle which will point to one of the doors which will harm you. You pluck it out from your pockets and crack open the bottle, a misty steam forms into an arrow and points to the door next to you, the door in the middle.

Phew you thought, now you know one of the doors leads you into a trap. The next part is the hard part now, you know one of the doors, the left or right, might contains trap, but the other leads your way out.

The question is what should you do and explain why

[phreak_91]

If this is correct, I don't want to do the next one.  I'm just curious if I am correct.  So, if you plan on answering, don't read this if it is correct.

Spoiler:

I would choose the one on the right.  Since you were already there, I would assume the mist would go to the door closest to you that contained a trap.  Since it didn't go to the one right in front of you, then that door must be safe

Well no it isn't the answer i'm looking for, sorry if the mist confused you I didn't intend for the mist to matter, so long as it points to one of the doors that isn't the one you picked that's all i'm looking for.

The answer i'm looking for doesn't concern the mist, it's just there to add story to my puzzle

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

No you miss the point. (need to work on that) I will explain what I meant. It could be either
no lemons, no melon or no melons, no lemon. Both are Palindromes

To the current puzzle I would do this crazy thing

Spoiler:

Believe the bottle lied to me and choice the center. 50 - 50 of telling the truth same as left or right Plus if it is lying you going left or right means 100% chance of going in to a trap.

One more answer just for fun and as this is a joke answer will not be spoiler

I would go to the RIGHT door.

If you do not get the joke read this, otherwise if you do don't

Spoiler:

A play on the word RIGHT which can either mean correct, or direction

Good answers but wrong. The bottle is telling the truth of that the middle door leads to a trap. Think more mathematically for this puzzle.

[c-square]

There are 3 doors all next to each other, 2 lead to a trap and the other leads your way out. You want your way out naturally but you can't be sure which way is out and you can't go back once you went though the door.

...

The question is what should you do and explain why

I've heard this one before, so I'm holding off answering to see if anyone else can come up with it.  If no one does in the next day or so, I'll chime in. 

[eworm]

Wouldn't it be enough just to open both left and right doors wide without entering and look into the rooms whether there's any trap there? You could also try throwing the bottle inside and see if anything attacks it ;]

Alternatively

Spoiler:

You turn around and go through THE OTHER DOOR - since you are inside, you had to have entered somehow ;]

Or

Spoiler:

You take your cell phone, call your friend, tell them to come and see which of the doors they enter through ;]

And then there's The Ultimate Answer For Everything.  ;D

Lol the ultimate answer for everything can't answer my riddle

Anyways lets just say the traps only activate when you step in the room and when you look inside the doors its completely pitch black.

Also you woke up in the room with no other doors except for the 3, someone must of knocked you out and brought you in here through one of the 3 doors.

It also seems you phone is missing as well as everything else you had on you (except for your clothes of course).

You barely remembered that the bottle told you which way leads to a trap and it scribbled on the wall in blood red that there are 2 traps and 1 exit, the bottle shards also seemed to have melted.

Although props on thinking of using the glass to try and set of any trap, would be a clever move to do.

Anyways just try thinking this mathematically,not practically.

[eworm]

Well, mathematically there's a 50/50 chance of opening the right door after eliminating the middle one and leaving it to luck. That can't be the answer and I don't see a way to eliminate either one of the two. That is unless we have another magic bottle with us.
And unless the sudden remembering of the bottle was our intuition alarming us and stopping us from opening the trap door. Which is totally stupid and in no way mathematical, so no.

...

This seems hard.
