5 Riddles
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BUNCH OF RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN....
THE ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM. RIDDLE #5 IS AMAZING.
IT SHARPENS THOSE GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS
ALZHEIMER'S 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, 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.
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!
SEE BELOW
THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE OF THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW:
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,
developed 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.
How did you do?

This is an old one so everyone will probably groan when they read it but here goes:
As I was crossing London Bridge I met a man.
He tipped his hat and drew his cane
and in this riddle I told his name
What's his name??

No, I didn't read it but fuzz is such an old term for police. "The Fuzz are coming" I can't get the London Bridge one though I have to go back to it and think about it...I know it takes me a week or so to do the sunday puzzle, I have to have it on the table for the entire week until I get them all except usually 2 or 3 words...
