THE FIVE RIDDLES

1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between threerooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full ofassassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions thathaven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?



2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both goout 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 whenyou throw it away?



4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the wordsWednesday, Friday, or Sunday?



5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quicklyyou can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinaryand plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact,nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it andthink about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if youwork at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without anycoaching!
