Question: Why doesn't Sara just hold up 5 fingers when shes at the lie/truth gate and ask how many fingers shes holding up? It seems much more simple than her way.

Answer: It would have to be changed to a yes or no question. Am I holding up 5 fingers? For starters. But I think they were more specific with their rules so that she couldn't ask such an easy question.
She could ask any easy question she wanted. But the other answer explained it already. Asking an easy question to determine who's lying or telling the truth wouldn't give her any information about which door they're standing in front of, and she only gets one question.

Answer: Sarah was allowed only one question, and asking how many fingers she was holding up would determine which one lies, but use up her only question as to which door to take.
