A QUIZ TO "HURT YOUR BRAIN"

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 three years. Which room is safest for him?

2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds
him under water for over five minutes. Finally,
she hangs him. But five 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.

Answers to Quiz:

1. The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.

2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a
picture of her husband, developed it and hung it
up to dry.

3. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs
and put the ice in the barrel. You will be able
to tell which water came from which jug.

4. The answer is charcoal.

5. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

6. The letter "e," which is the most common
letter in the English language, does not appear
once in the long paragraph.

May the Lord bless you and keep you
