Subject: Riddles
A few riddles for you. The answers are at the bottom. Have fun
 
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 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. Try to do so without any coaching!
 
(For answers, Scroll Down!)
 
1. The third. Lions that haven't 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. In Homer Simpson's words: hmmmm...
Barbecue.
 
5. Sure you can: 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.

wouldn't it be safer to be in a room full of assassins since they are all probably wanted too. Or maybe the tigers or lions haven't ate because they are dead, or maybe the raging fire is in a fire place. let me know.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FIVE RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN....THE

ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM BUT DON'T CHEAT AND LOOK

AHEAD! RIDDLE #5 IS AMAZING. IT SHARPENS THOSE

GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS ALZHEIMER'S FOR

YEARS!!


1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose

among 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

gray when you throw it away ?

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the

words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how

quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks

so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong

with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly 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!

THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW:

Answers:

1 The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are

dead. That one was easy, right?

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her

husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under

water; and hung).

3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.

4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday,

today, and tomorrow!

5. The letter e, which is the most common letter used in the

English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

How did you do?
