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.
