The first time I encountered a version of this riddle it actually wasn't Labyrinth. It was an old black and white episode of Dr Who aired on PBS when I was a little kid. Same scenario but if I recall, robots instead of guardsmen. I think the good doctor solved the riddle in the typical way of asking one robot what the other would say. I'm looking for it now but I can't find the scene.

Yes, thank you!! Found the scene itself since the whole serial is apparently on youtube: https://youtu.be/lLBHbt9QYFU?t=5458
Funny how my memory had it in black and white. And I remember the scene being much longer. I watched it when I was like, 9.
Maybe your childhood TV was black and white.
Length, brains just love to add details that dont exist
One question per group. Also now you die because murder.
Barbarian just ripped the head off of one of the guards, you think the other guard is going to be able to arrest them?

Do you think it would suck to be one of the bottom heads? 🤔
