BRAINTEASERS
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. Try to do so without any coaching!
