    I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.What am I?

    What's the matter? Too many questions all at once? Did we fry your brain?

    Here is the riddle:

    You are locked in a room with only two doors and two robots (hmmm, one even kind of resembles Ben too! ) and you only know these two things - one door leads to freedom, one to certain death AND one robot always tells the truth, one always lies.

    You are permitted to ask one robot one question only to escape. What do you ask?

    Since a few days have passed, Im going to take a stab at this one...

    I would ask both robots "what door will the other robot tell me leads to freedom?"

    The truth telling robot will tell the truth by telling me that the liar robot will tell me it's the door on the right (which leads to certain death).

    The liar robot will lie by telling me that the truth robot will tell me it's the door on the right (which still leads to certain death).

    Therefore, I would go out the door that neither of them mentioned in their answer.

    That one is AWESOME!

    Ok, this isn't a riddle but I still want a yes or no answer to it...

    Will your answer to this question be 'no'?

    Personally, I would ask "Can you please walk through the left door for me?". If he answers yes, does it and dies horribly - you walk through the other door :P
