Here are 6 questions, some easy, some not so easy - answers at the
end - no peeking:-
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 have
not 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. However, five 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 grey 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 am 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!

ANSWERS
1. The third. Lions that have not 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
5. 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.
