FIVE RIDDLES



THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FIVE RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN ... THE ANSWERS ARE AT THE 
BOTTOM. RIDDLE #5 IS AMAZING. IT SHARPENS THOSE GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS 
ALZHEIMER'S FOR YEARS!! 

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 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! 

THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW: 


Keep going down........... 



and down........ 



and down......... 


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; and 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. 

how did you do?
