Find a 9-digit number, which you will gradually round off starting with units, then tenth, hundred etc., until you get to the last numeral, which you do not round off. The rounding alternates (up, down, up ...). After rounding off 8 times, the final number is 500000000. The original number is commensurable by 6 and 7, all the numbers from 1 to 9 are used, and after rounding four times the sum of the not-rounded numerals equals 24.

There are two robots guarding the doors. They will let you choose one door but upon doing so you must go through it.
You can, however, ask one robot one question. The problem is one robot always tells the truth, the other always lies and you don't know which is which.

I have a sore throat and a severe headache. I have four tablets with me that are identical to each other and they do not have any cover on them. There is no way I can identify which tablet serves what purpose. The only thing that I know is that two of these four tablets are for the throat and the remaining two are for the headache. To treat my condition, I must take 1 of each. What will I do now?
