A man is in a maze, suddenly the power shuts off. He walks on and it gets colder and colder. He comes to a set of doors numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4. He walks through door 3. Then, he comes to three more doors labeled A,B, and C. He goes through B and it locks behind him trapping him so he cannot turn back. In front of him are two doors. In one is a loaded gun that will shoot him and the other contains an electric chair that he will be strapped to. Which one should he choose?

Why this works

This riddle plays with the concept of power and the implications of being in a maze without electricity. When the riddle states that the power shuts off, it implies that the electric chair would be rendered inoperative since it requires power to function. Therefore, choosing the electric chair is the safer option because it won't work without power, while the loaded gun is still a lethal threat. The clever twist lies in recognizing that the situation has changed due to the initial power outage!
