Study the five brain teasers. Then, see if you can answer without
looking at the answers below. Very interesting!
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 tgether. How can this be?
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray
when you throw it away?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
5. 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 just
unusual though. Study it, and think hard about it, but you still may not
find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out what is
missing. Try to do so without any coaching!

2. The woman is a photographer. She shot a picture of her
husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry. Yeah, you should have paid

5. The letter "e" – the most common letter in the English
language – is missing from the entire paragraph! This one was hard. If you
got this one – give yourself a pat on a back
