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!
here are the answers
. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years
are dead.
2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her
husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the
ice in the barrel. You will be able to tell which water
came from which jug.
4. The answer is Charcoal. In Homer Simpson's words: hmmmm...
Barbecue.
5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
6. The letter "e", which is the most common letter in
the English language, does not appear once in the
long paragraph.
and I have a lot more. I joke a do is good for the heart.
