	The story was the inspiration for Raymond Smullyan's puzzle book by the same title, "The Lady, or the Tiger?". The first set of logic puzzles in the book had a similar scenario to the short story in which a king gives each prisoner a choice between a number of doors; behind each one was either a lady or a tiger. However, the king bases the prisoner's fate on intelligence and not luck by posting a statement on each door that can be true or false.
