1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

3. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you
put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or
any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still
may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.







Sorry, I don't have the answers to these...





j/k I'll post em later.

#4 is charcoal. It's black out of the bag, burns red hot, and ends up as gray ash. ;)

All the answers were nailed. #1- lions, #2- picture, #3- freeze, #4- charcoal, #5- yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and #6- no letter E in the entire paragraph, which is the most popular letter in the alphabet.
