Status : Offline | You are in a room, there are two doors, two computers, two signs, and a leper in the room with you. The first sign reads
behind one door is God realization. Behind the other door is a room painted entirely green. The only things in that room are a man and a ladder, both of which are painted entirely green. The man has been hired by the coalition of Gangsta Rappers to hurl a non-stop barrage of insults at anyone who enters the room.
In front of each door is a computer, the second sign sits between the two computers and reads as follows.
One of these computers is programmed to lie to you regardless of how friendly you are to the user interface, the other computer is programmed to tell the truth, regardless of the Federal Grand Jury's wrath.
You have been zapped into this room by means unknown...the only other information you were given is that you will be picked up on the day that world peace is established. It is about this time that the gangrenous leper begins to speak "It is not a night for sleep, it's a night for love."
As he lurches towards you, you quickly calculate that you have time to ask one computer one question.
What do you ask? Keep in mind you don't know whether the computer will be honest with you.

You have four nines (9,9,9,9). Arrange them so that they total 100. You may use any mathematical processes, but each nine may only be used once.
Ok, maybe I shouldn't have posted this since it is not a trick question.....

You can turn them around if you want, but you'll be wrong.

How about this:
99 + 9 / 9
I forgot my sig.

No. We're talking mathematics here Division has higher priority than addition.

Eva: Bush buys his clothes so he won't have to walk around naked.
When it comes to your entry, it is not a "trick question" but merely a bizzarely-painted (green) variation on an old riddle. The question you ask the computer (assuming that this is the result you wish) is: "If you were the other computer, which door would you tell me leads to God's Revelation?" You then walk through the opposite door from what the computer answers.

BacardiJim was wrong... He buys clothes, because he can't get it for free
EDIT
Sorry, it took me so long to answer, I was out of town...
Do go on! I always yawn, when I'm fascinated!
