I'm a bit surprised you took the "are you a golem" question - why? I didn't understand your post dealing with your question choice, sorry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> (I'm not good in philosophy)
It wasn't that big a deal, I just swept off to the left and went through the door, but I was ticked off at it being yet another in a series of things that just didn't work out right.
It's the answer to the riddle that I learned, oh, years ago. You've got two people: one always tells the truth and one always lies. You can ask each of them one yes or no question. So ask one of them the question to which you need the answer (in this case, "Which route is safe?"), and then ask the other some question that you can immediately tell if it's telling the truth or not ("are you a turtle?").
That's a different set of logical skills than the "one tells the truth, one lies, and you can only ask one question total" puzzle, but since we could ask each critter a question it's the route I took. It hardly mattered, really, in the scope of the game, but it became yet another irritant at a time when the last thing I needed was more irritation.
BTW, interesting about the poison arrows. Too bad not a single skill point of mine was sunk into them.
