    First one to get them gets... um... an email notification of a reply :) 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 three years. Which room is safest for him? Riddle 2 : 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 to out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner. How? Riddle 3 : There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which job? Riddle 4 : What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? Riddle 5 : Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday? Riddle 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 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. -- David Wengier TAC ad gone wrong: "Don't fool yourself, you're a bloody idiot." Sonork ID: 100.14177 - Ch00k
