*DARKMATTER* wrote: Seven Interesting questions with 7 interesting answers. Can you answer any?

O.K., let's see what I can do, a few look tough.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q1. 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?

Of course the room with the lions. If they haven't eaten for 3 years they would all be dead.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. Five minutes later, they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Thought this one was gonna be tough, then it hit me, she is a photographer.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q3. A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said,"That's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no types of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?

I guess strong lungs would be a good answer? Of course the kid didn't actually say he would hold his breath, just that he could be under water for 10 minutes. That has to be the trick. Not sure of what answer you are looking for but I will go out on a limb and say he stood in the rain for 10 minutes.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q4. 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?

Not getting this one yet. I'll think about it unless someone else figures it out first.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q5. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

{DOU}Chicken's underware? Other then that I would have to say charcoal. Another one I had to struggle to figure out.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Q7. 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. If you work at it a bit, you might find out! ...

I've seen this one before but it's not coming to me yet. I'll think about this one too while I walk the dog and see if it hits me unless someone else figures it out first.

*DARKMATTER* wrote: Try to do so without any coaching!

Still thinking about a few, but pretty good, no? I never looked off of the page. 🙂

Tommy

Q3. He held a glass of water over his head.

Q4. Tommy. I am shocked at you. Freeze the water.

Q7. The paragraph does not contain the letter "e". Other than that, I am stumped.

ANSWERS:

A1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in 3 years are dead.

A2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,developed it and hung it up to dry.

A3. The kid filled a glass of water and held it over his head for 10 minutes.

A4. Color and 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.

A5. The answer is Charcoal. In Homer Simpson's words: hmmmm...Barbecue.

A6. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

A7. The letter "e", which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph.

No. I did not go away from the page while answering. I did think of the freezing water a little later so that is why the edit appears.

I do admit to looking at T's answers first. I would never have gotten the Photographer or the Charcoal ones. The paragraph one was the first that I got. I noticed that the word "the" was not used and got the rest from that.

Okay. This question is what got me hired at my current job. The boss asked it, and I answered it right.

You are in a room surrounded by 4 walls. All 4 walls are exactly 20 feet long and 10 feet high. In the center of each wall is a 2 foot by 2 foot window. Each of the walls face south. You look out one of the windows and see a bear. What color is the bear? Why?
