 Posted: 05/29/04 - 07:20 Post subject: Saturday Morning Puzzles
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose
between three rooms.
The first is full of raging fires, the second is fullof
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!
