A few good riddles for everyone. (If you don't like riddles, then I quote one of Britain's funniest comedys, Blackadder, to you: "Get stuffed!" :p )
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.
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 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!

(This one is interesting! There is only one correct answer, but there are in fact many answers that work. [It's meant to be that way.] Can you find the right one?)
