A dective is looking at a crime scene of a dead man holding a gun.
There is a cassett player nearbye, so he presses play.
He hears, 'I have nothing left to live for. I can't go on.'
The dective immeadietly says that it was a murder and not a suicide.
How did he know?
caused instant death and the victim could not have rewound the tape.

A man is in front of 2 doors.
In one door is a burning sun ready to smite anyone who walks thru.
The second has a fire-breathing dragon in it, also ready to smite.
If you were the man, which door would you choose?
( I would leave both of those doors closed )

Anywho, I had the same idea as you with the dragon door. But whether you wallk through a door or not you're still exposed to the sun or dragon. It should be more clear if the man walks through or not... and if you're exposed to harm before walking through, or only after walking in through the door.
edit: Looked at it again, and you can only be harmed after walking in through the door. There's the possibility of avoiding a dragon, but you wouldn't be able to avoid heat from the sun, so your chance of survival is much better with the dragon.
It's either that or both are 100% deadly, so choosing the sun makes more sense... instant death instead of moments of suffering.
However...
If you don't walk through, then you should choose the sun... because a dragon could walk through to your side.

Yeah, or wait until the dragon lays down and goes to sleep.
Or wait a few billion years for the sun to burn out.
Or wait a few hundred years for the dragon to die.
