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 回複 悄悄話 PP.: 黃麥片也很好聽啊。再說,麥片的顏色很多都是黃閃的。
歌兒 回複 悄悄話 我覺得猜魔術也說的通。第五題誰要是猜出來也太厲害了,專門供語言的人都未必看得出來。
PP. 回複 悄悄話 回複歌兒的評論:
黃麥片? :-P 別生氣,開個玩笑哈.:)
longhair 回複 悄悄話 回複歌兒的評論:
第二題答魔術那個也挺對的.
歌兒 回複 悄悄話 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.
mycereal 回複 悄悄話 PP.,歌兒: 謝謝,你們的建議都很好。我以後需要的話,可以從裏麵挑一個。嗬嗬。

PP. 回複 悄悄話 回複mycereal的評論:
麥片: 你可以在'麥片'後門加一個"."或其它什麽符號,注意到PP後麵的"."嗎? 因為PP也有人用了.:)
PP.,你越來越俏了--- 高興啊.:))
mycereal 回複 悄悄話 PP.,你越來越俏了。嗬嗬。

我可慘了,我這兩天才發現,“麥片”和“小李麥片”都不知道被誰注冊了,所以我隻剩下mycereal了。嗬嗬。當然,你們還可以接著叫我麥片,但回你們話的人隻會是mycereal. 嗬嗬。
