Friday Brainteaser
« on: 02 March 2007, 21:11:14 »

Have a guess at this if you think you're clever (no googling!)

When you do not know what i am
Then I Am Something
But when you know what i am
Then I Am nothing..

WHAT AM I??

Officially the answer is A RIDDLE  ;)

Try these - but don't have the answers to them all (so don't expect a reply)  :y

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 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

5. 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. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

1) C, the lions, they're all dead.

2) she took a photo, developed it and hung it to dry, then they went out for dinner

3) No idea

4) November 1st, 2nd and 3rd.  OR Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day.

5) it uses repeated patterns of sentence lengths.  (4, 14, 12,) , arranged around the total number of sentences, (7) givinga nukmeric descriptor, 4, 14, 12, 7, 4, 14, 12.


bet you didn't see that one coming ;)
