Can You Figure These Out?

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 gray when you throw it away?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

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.

2. The answer to this logic problem is: The woman is a photographer. She 'shot' her husband's picture with a camera. She held it under "water" (developer) to develop, and then hung it on the line to dry the photograph. After she developed it, they went out to eat.

3. Charcoal

4. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!

5. The letter "e," which is the most common letter in the English Language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

Answers, for rest of the queries, is following respectively.

- Women is a photographer

- Coal, it is black at inception, becomes red when it is burned, and in the end (after burning)it becomes Gray.

- Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

- Amazingly, Letter "E" has not been used in any of the words. ( Got this one from Google search)

Best Regards,

Desperado.
