How about a few Brain Teasers:

 

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.

 

 

 

Sorry, I don't have the answers to these... Just kidding.

 

 

 

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.

 

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.
