BRAIN STORMING QUESTIONS

 

 

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

it, and gray when you throw it away?

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.
