TEASERS... TO TEST YOUR BRAIN FUNCTION!

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 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. Try to do so without any
coaching!
ANSWERS BELOW... DON'T PEEK...
!!!!!
ANSWERS:
1. The
third -- Lions that haven't eaten in three years are
dead.
2. The woman is a photographer. She shot a
picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to
dry.
3. Charcoal.
4. Sure you
can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
5. The letter "e"
-- the most common letter in the English language -- is missing from the entire
paragraph!
