    Here are a few brain teasers....

    1) A murderer is condemened to death. He has to choose between 3 rooms. The 1st is full of raging fires, the 2nd is full of assassains with loaded guns, and the 3rd is full of lions that havent 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 miunets. Finally she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

    3) Can you name 3 consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

    4) This is an unusual parargraph. Im 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!

    5) What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?


    Enjoy...................!

    For number 1, I'm thinking the room with the lions seeing as they'd be dead having not eaten in 3 years...

    Oh and number 4 is unusual as there's no letter e.

    1. The lions because they would be dead after not eating for 3 years.
    2. She is a photographer
    3. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
    4. It is missing the letter "e", the most commonly used letter in the English language.
    5. Coal
