Brain Teaser #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?

I'll say the room with the Lions, because if they haven't eaten three years, they'd either have to be dead or too week to go after him.

Very Good
That is the correct answer.

Now for Brain Teaser #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?

She shot a photo of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.

Ok, smarty pants.
If you know all of these don't spoil it for all, ok?


Brain Teaser #3:

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away?

The lions -- if they haven't eaten in three years, they're dead!

She has just taken a photo of him, developed it, and hung the result. He feels fine.
