Friday Riddle Answer
What is the one question that you can ask EITHER computer that will guarantee directions to the door leading to the room with space suits?
ANSWER: Ask either computer what the other would say is the safe door and then go into the other door. Example: Door "B" is the door to safety. Ask the truth computer what would the lie computer say is the safe door, the truth computer would say the lie computer would say; Door "A". Or ask the lying computer and it would say the truth computer would say Door "A".

Not buying it (again)
I'm taking them too literally.
"What is the one question that you can ask EITHER computer that will guarantee directions to the door leading to the room with space suits?"
So if you asked one computer, say the lying one, which is the safe door and it says door A, how do you know it's the liar computer based on asking only one of them?
Now, if it were worded "what is the one question you can ask BOTH computers" that makes it solvable because you can determine which computer is lying by asking both. I know I'm splitting hairs but there is a difference between asking one and asking BOTH and the riddle just said EITHER which means one computer or the other, not both.
I don't know Nudgie, these riddles are puzzling.
I'd rather try to crack the case of just why did the chicken cross the road?
Good one
;-)

You can't determine which computer is the liar. But you don't need to know that.

Guess we won't know until we post and it goes through. Yes I think we have the naughty server.
