If you need the answers I can post them later . 5 Riddles THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST FIVE RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN . RIDDLE #5 IS AMAZING . . . ENJOY . . . THIS SHARPENS THOSE GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS ALZHEIMERS 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 . 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!	Marnie (4574)

830185	2009-11-15 00:41:00	2. She is a photographer :thumbs:	Richard (739)
830186	2009-11-15 00:51:00	5: There is no letter E at all in it. Or words with it. (It's the most commonly used letter in the alphabet)	bob_doe_nz (92)
830187	2009-11-15 00:54:00	1. C 2. Photographer 3. Newspaper? 4. Yesterday, today, tomorrow 5. Yup too long I suppose	Speedy Gonzales (78)
830188	2009-11-15 01:10:00	3. I think this might be Coal 4. This can also be Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing day. The whole concept of 2 is very marginal in my view, it really doesn't work with Photographer because as written, the statement is too literal. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

830190	2009-11-15 01:47:00	.THIS SHARPENS THOSE GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS ALZHEIMERS 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. 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! Genes in the brain? Genes are a set of instructions in DNA called chromosomes. Lions. She photographs him, she baptizes him? She I don't know. (She doesn't hold him underwater or hang him, only the photo id she develops it herself using old fashioned film) Nothing, but a newspaper will be black, then READ, then still black when you finish not grey. As above. No e in it.	pctek (84)
830191	2009-11-15 02:05:00	Marnie, I think we have got them all, mixed in all the replies. Agreed?? :thumbs:	Richard (739)
830192	2009-11-15 02:27:00	Agreed, Richard . Well done on the team effort . 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, de veloped 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 .
