Fun quiz

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?

How can this be?

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!

Re: Fun quiz

Wow Val I'm impressed, no.2 is the only one I thought might be shoot with a camera, then develop the picture and hang it to dry, but I was clueless about the others... I never even considered the lions might be dead after 3 years in number 1....

Re: Fun quiz

I think no.2 is developing a photo .....

No.3 is coal. Black when you buy it, red when you burn it and grey when it has turned to ash.

2.. yes a photograph being developed
3.. yes, coal or charcoal.
4.. yes, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
5.. yes, no letter 'e'
