Which is the blue door? Well, let's think about this. Should I assume that Bob made it out alive by walking through Door #3? Since this riddle is incomplete, I will just have to assume that, yes, he did survive. Therefore, Door #3 is NOT the blue door, since "Freedom is not behind the blue door". Now, what else do we have? The signs on at least one of the doors is TELLING THE TRUTH, and the signs on at least one of the doors is LYING. Well, the phrase "at least" in this case means one OR MORE. Therefore, still assuming that Bob survived by going through Door #3, the signs on Door #1 AND Door #2 could BOTH be telling the truth, or they could BOTH be lying, or one could be lying and one telling the truth. Therefore (again still assuming that Bob survived by going through Door #3), since we know that "freedom is NOT behind the blue door", we could assume that EITHER Door #1 or Door #2 is blue, but we could also assume that BOTH Door #1 and Door #2 are blue.
Unless I'm missing something (and I very well could be) I can't determine whether #1, #2, or both are blue. And, as you've probably noticed numerous times, I'm still assuming that Bob made it out alive by going through #3. If he didn't, then #3 could be the blue door! Therefore, I'm not exactly sure which fucking door it is!
