Here are 5 riddles.....can you work out the answers to each riddle?

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 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.

Good luck
Fudd :)
 
Well done LoneRoad on getting riddle #5 correct. That paragraph does not contain the most common letter used.........the letter "e". :)
 
1. Third room. Lions who haven't eaten for 3 years are dead.
2. Shot a photo with a retro camera, developed the film and hung the picture to dry.
3. Coal
4. Yesterday, today and tomorrow
5. It does not contain the letter 'e', which is the most used letter in the English language.

My grey cells are that colour for the same reason as the coal. Used up with age.

R. 2 would be hard for the youngsters.
 
#2 I should have gotten, but it's been years since I went into a dark room. I think 1993 was the last time I smelt those chemicals.

#3 I would never have gotten.

Well done!

The idea is that you can ask a certain number of questions which are answered with only "Yes" or "No", until you make a guess. Commonly the maximum number of questions is 7 or less.

Q 1. Is it metallic?
 
:D Well done happy2!

(For those who haven't read The Hobbit, here is a small extract of the riddles in the dark.)

Edit: Typing the above while Demon made a post. Next riddle.
