Can You Figure These Out?

   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. Try to do so
   without any coaching!

   3. Charcoal 
   4. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
