BRAIN TEASERS
Five Brain Teasers
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. What is black when you buy it, red when you
use it, and grey when you
throw it away?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without
using the words Monday,
Wednesday, or Friday?
5. 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!

1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three
years are dead.
Don't you feel silly now?
2. The woman is a photographer. She shot a
picture of her
husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
3. Charcoal. This one is tricky. Only old-timers can remember using coal for
heating...
4. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
Duhh!
5. The letter "e" - the most common
letter in the English language - is
missing from the entire paragraph! This one was hard. If you got this one -
give yourself a pat on the back.
