All of the doors were filled with nonsense.<br/><br/><em>"Three doors, but one is false. All of them can deceive you. Knowledge alone can save where no brute force shall prevail. Everything shall be made clear to the wise."</em><br/><br/>Why would two doors be safe? Maybe one was for leaving? And 'all of them can deceive you' could mean two things: Either that the whole riddle was just a scam for those who overthink things, or that every door contained lies. Maybe one fake statement per door?<br/><br/><em>"This is not the right door. However, the right door never lies to you. Everything the left door tells is false."</em><br/><br/>The right door could refer to the door at the right, or the door that was the right one. However if there was only one fake door, then two were right doors. If everything the left door was false...that was totally impossible, as it contained universal truths. Evita doubted that Esmeralda or even the guy who build the prison was of the opinion that everything could be solved with brute force. If every door had one deceiving statement, that would be it, she guessed. However if that was the deceiving statement, then it would mean that the right door would never lie...which would mean that the first doors deceiving statement would be 'all of them can deceive you'...since the right door wouldn't contain a deceiving statement. If even the right door contained lies, then the statement 'everything the left door tells is false' would be a second lie, and having a riddle with so many lies would make no sense.<br/><br/><em>"Midnight is when the sun stands lowest and the moon rises highest. I walk safely, but not when the moon is at it's highest. Daylight kills the rash wanderer. Dawn is just as deadly to the fool. Leave not through the path of the hours in between. Evening is your friend, but not your saviour."</em><br/><br/>Just the fact that the other two doors contained lies, would make this one the right door. However midnight certainly isn't when the moon rises highest. Even if you speak metaphorically sometimes there is no moon in the sky! So this had to be the lie of this door. But if this door had a lie too, then the statement "the right door never lies to you" was also false. This would mean that either the whole riddle was a trap, or that the first door was the right one...which couldn't happen, as it claimed itself as lying too. Then, if deceiving didn't mean exactly lying, it would mean that the other doors weren't lying either, which made no sense.<br/><br/>Thinking about it an other way...there was no guarantee that the right door would tell the truth. If the second door was the right one, then it could just be filled with lies.<br/><br/>Then the truth would be:<em>"This is the right door. The right door always lies to you."</em>and<em>"Everything the right door tells is false."</em>or<em>"One of the things in the left door is false"</em>or "Everything the left door tells is right"<br/><br/>Evita leaned towards the "One of the things in the left door is false", which would follow the general idea of her solution. Two doors containing one lie, and the right door have every statement be a lie.<br/><br/>Taking a closer look at the third door, and discarting the first sentence about the midnight, it would hint that the door of the midnight isn't safe. The door of the daylight is also dangerous. And the door of the dawn is also deadly. And there was also a door for the hours between dawn and day...and one for the evening.<br/><br/>At this point Evita was convinced that riddles were for fools. If it was her, she would use a fake riddle, and keep the real door to herself. So, she decided to take a look for the<em>real </em>passage.<br/><br/>If she failed at that, she would cast fly on herself to avoid stepping on the floor, and she would go for the middle door prepared to face whatever trap could be waiting for her. If possible she would open the door with a mage hand too.<br/><br/><br/>
