ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

THEY SHARPEN YOUR BRAIN AND STALL ALZHEIMER’S FOR YEARS —–\u00a0 MAYBE!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A murderer is condemned to death.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

He has to choose between three rooms.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The first is full of raging fires,<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

the second is full of assassins with loaded guns,<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

and the third is full of lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Which room is safest for him?<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. A woman shoots her husband.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Then she holds the resultant under water for over 5 minutes.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, she hangs him.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a05 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

How can this be?<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

3. What is black when you buy it,<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away ?<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

it, but you still may not find anything odd but if you work at it a bit,<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW:<\/span><\/p>\n

Answers:<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

1. The third room Lions that haven’t eaten in three years are dead.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

That one was easy, right?<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

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; and hung).<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Sure you can name three consecutive days, yesterday, today, and<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

tomorrow!<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

5. The letter “e” which is the most common letter used in the English<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
