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! Try to do so without any
coaching!
First five I got fairly easily, no 6 rather more difficult!
