Brainteasers Any One...

31 Oct 2009

1) A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of a raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years. Which room is the safest?

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

3) A man is found dead in the Arctic with a pack on his back. What happened?

4) A man pushes a car up to a hotel and tells the owner he's bankrupt. What's going on?

5) You have two plastic jugs filled with water. How can you put all the water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jugs?

6) 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 is wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual, though. Study it, think about it...but you still may not find anything odd.

7) A carrot, two lumps of coal, and a pipe lie together in the middle of a field. What happens?

8) A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over five minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But five minutes later, they both go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

9) What's black when you buy it, red when you use it,and grey when you throw it away?

10) A man is born in 1972 and dies in 1952 at age 25. What's the deal?
