    Think about it

    Think about these before answering.

    "Questions"

    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. 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?

    4. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray
    when you throw it away?

    5. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

    6. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you canfind 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!

    (almost wirm and you didn't elaborate, i'm already guessing you got this email)

    READY FOR THE ANSWERS?

    1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.

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

    3. 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.

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

    5. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!

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