what if you end up asking the guard that lies and he tells you one of the wrong doors.

Sorry I forgot to add the "not" check now. It was a typo. Sorry

+ Show Spoiler +?=2. number of rounds/circles.
I must be lower than a preschooler

Took me around 35 minutes to sole.
I am a very imature 15 year old guy interessted in programming.
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler + You count the places where there is a circular shape in the number and you add them.
I would probably have never figure it out if I did not write down the riddle on a paper, then I got bored and started coloring the circular shapes and that is when I saw it. I LOVE TO SCRIBLE
Lol GR final solution is 2.
EDIT: accidently wrote 45 minutes except 35minutes. Typo

You will get the door where the dragon is.

i'm saying that you can only ask one question. so after you ask that question you can't ask any more questions. so you still wouldn't know which door to open

+ Show Spoiler +
A female friend of mine showed it to me. I figured out that each digit is replaced by a number and then summed to obtain the number on the right. I then computed that value for all the digits and barely managed to find the answer in under 10 minutes.
Then she goes like "YOU COUNT THE CIRCLES OMG".
Stupid problem.

Riddle 1:
What is the next line of numbers?
**********1**********
********1***1********
********2***1********
****1***2***1***1****
1***1***1***2***2***1
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler +312211, and here's why:
You *read off* the previous row, matching numbers that are alike and together in the preceding row, to come up with the next row. You say how many of each number there are, in order.
Row two: Row one is "one one".
Row three: Row two is "two ones"
Row four: Row three is "one two, one one".
Row five: Row four is "one one, one two, two ones".
Therefore, Row six: Row five is "three ones, two twos, one one", or 312211.
Riddle 2:
A farmer has three piles of straw in his front yard, five piles of straw in his backyard, and just returned home with two more piles of straw in his truck. How many piles of straw would he have if he put them all together?
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler +One (large) pile 
Riddle 3:
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can. What did the wise man say to them?
Solution:
+ Show Spoiler +Switch camels

What is the next line of numbers?
**********1**********
********1***1********
********2***1********
****1***2***1***1****
1***1***1***2***2***1
I saw this one in the blog section a few days ago. I read the solution but I still dont get it.
The other two I laughed.
Second one:
A farmer has three piles of straw in his front yard, five piles of straw in his backyard, and just returned home with two more piles of straw in his truck. How many piles of straw would he have if he put them all together?
+ Show Spoiler +I said ten but thats wrong. =(
Third one:
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower wins. After wandering aimlessly for days, the brothers ask a wise man for guidance. Upon receiving the advice, they jump on the camels and race to the city as fast as they can. What did the wise man say to them?
That one has many possibilites, but these two I thought off:
+ Show Spoiler +
Bad Solution 1:
The man said: "I will give the one that gets there first my inheritence which is 2 times bigger than his fathers.
Bad Solution 2:
The man said: "There is a sand storm comming and it will kill both of you if you dont get to the distant city fast.

I remember these from the Dark Tower 3: The Waste Lands
What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but cannot talk,
has a head but cannot think,
has a bed but never sleeps.
+ Show Spoiler +
A loose translation:
It's more powerful than God.
It's more evil than the Devil.
The poor have it.
The rich need it.
If you eat it you will die.

If Pinochio said my nose will grow right now, what would happen ?
Answer:+ Show Spoiler + the statement "my nose will grow right now" is self referential as it indirectly states "this sentence is false".
The actual solution is that such a statement can't be either true or false. It's not "indeterminate" but actually impossible to determinate.
So if we assume "Pinocchio lies <=> Pinocchio's nose grows", then it would not grow, because it's not false.
What is the next line of numbers?
**********1**********
********1***1********
********2***1********
****1***2***1***1****
1***1***1***2***2***1
Haha! I love this one, though I know the answer since I'm 12 ^^
+ Show Spoiler +312211 it is! then 13112221 and so on...
