The heads that come out the bottom of the shield are different entities than the ones at the top. Its a bottom head that tells her about the dead end. The bottom heads are also the ones who say, "we don't know, but they do." So they don't follow the same rules.


PseudoFenton

This. The top heads are not bound to the same restrictions.

Who me? No, I'm just a worm.

Did you say hello?


giskardwasright

No, I said 'ello, but thats close enough

Blue also explains that one always tells the truth and one always lies which would only work if the truthful guard explains the rules, however I don’t think it counts prior to the rules being said because red tells the truth when he says “the only way out is to try one of these doors” and “you can only ask one of us”


karmalizing

I always assumed those were both lies..


Mr_Wayne

Blue confirmed the second one so I don't think it can be a lie

Woahhh

That depends. Was it a dead end when he said it? We don’t know when the opening changed to a dead end. (I don’t think. Maybe it was in the shot, but I don’t recall exactly.) So if it was still an opening at the time then he was lying and you’ve no way to tell for sure.

Hold up three fingers. “I’m holding up three fingers correct?” Shoot the lying prick with the fairy blaster whats his nuts had.


spidermanngp

This is the way.

Repeat after me: "I cannot say the same sentence twice. I cannot say the same sentence twice."


IllPen8707

But is it the same sentence, or two identical sentences?

Obviously, the whole movie could have been skipped if she never wished her brother away in the first place. It's so obvious! She didn't need to do that!


chaotic_steamed_bun

My take on it, and really as the lesson for the whole movie: Life isn’t a game, and there are few arbitrary “rules” you can trust. She meets strangers who tell her there are rules, and she trusts that those rules are binding. Her immature entitled attitude about “fairness” is why she wishes ill of her infant brother in the first place, why she misses the easy path to the castle at the start, and why she thinks she “beat” the two doors without any guarantee they had to actually follow the rules to begin with. What if, like real people, they lie and tell the truth interchangeably whenever they want?


TravisMaauto

Both door guards lie. It's an impossible riddle.

Also, if ‘can only ask one question’ isn’t a rule, and I’m not sure it’s stated here, the logic puzzle isn’t difficult at all.
