THE FIVE RIDDLES

 




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?

 


Black Red Gray

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
Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

 




5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly
you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary
and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact,
nothing is wrong with it! It is highly 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!

mycereal 回复 悄悄话 PP.: 黄麦片也很好听啊。再说,麦片的颜色很多都是黄闪的。
歌儿 回复 悄悄话 我觉得猜魔术也说的通。第五题谁要是猜出来也太厉害了,专门供语言的人都未必看得出来。

黄麦片? :-P 别生气,开个玩笑哈.:)

第二题答魔术那个也挺对的.
歌儿 回复 悄悄话 Answers:


1 The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
That one was easy, right?

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,
developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under water; an hung).

3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.

4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday, today, and
tomorrow!

5. The letter e, which is the most common letter used in the English
language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.

PP. 回复 悄悄话 回复mycereal的评论:
麦片: 你可以在'麦片'后门加一个"."或其它什么符号,注意到PP后面的"."吗? 因为PP也有人用了.:)

mycereal 回复 悄悄话 PP.,你越来越俏了。呵呵。

我可惨了,我这两天才发现,“麦片”和“小李麦片”都不知道被谁注册了,所以我只剩下mycereal了。呵呵。当然,你们还可以接着叫我麦片,但回你们话的人只会是mycereal. 呵呵。
