freeflygoddess 0 #1 May 20, 2004 Here are some Brain teasers, I do have all of the answers to them, so see how many you can get and tomorrow I will post the answers. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocketdog 0 #2 May 20, 2004 i think i could only get the one about "consecutive days" ..... so where are these smartypants answers? it's really starting to bother me see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #3 May 20, 2004 1. The room with the lions. If they haven't eaten in three years, they must certainly be dead. 2. I'm not sure this riddle will be relevant in the near future -- what with fewer and fewer people doing chemical photography. 3. I can think of two answers, but the most obvious is to freeze the water in one of the jugs. 4. And speaking of technological endings to riddles . . . don't most folks use gas grills now adays? 5. "That's it! All we's got is a couple of days on the team!" -- Who's on First. (Although I must admit that in the routine only two of the days are mentioned.) So, yesterday, today and tomorrow.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aprilcat 0 #4 May 20, 2004 I think the 3 consecutive days have something to do with Holy week. The rest, I'll wait to see.~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #12 May 20, 2004 I'm guessing the canopy came first. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #15 May 20, 2004 Seriously. Canopies came first. Containers, shortly thereafter. As for the riddle -- red sky -- I assume as in the old sailor's saying.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
