Title: Winter Brain Warmers
Post by: Wizzo on December 13, 2007, 10:30:17 AM

Heres a few to get the old brain cells working.

1. You are running in a street marathon and you overtake the person in second place, what position are you now in?

2. Read each line aloud without making any mistakes. If you make a mistake you MUST start again without going any further.

This is this puzzle
This is is puzzle
This is how puzzle
This is to puzzle
This is keep puzzle
This is an puzzle
This is idiot puzzle
This is busy puzzle
This is for puzzle
This is forty puzzle
This is seconds! puzzle




Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top.

3. If you are in a dark room with a candle, a wood stove and a gas lamp. You only have one match, so what do you light first?

4. Would you rather a crocodile attack you or an alligator?

5. While on the island of Dellzup, you have been captured by the Evil Prince. He has decided to play a game with you. He offers you the choice of two doors, behind one of which lies a hungry lion and behind the other lies treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Guarding one of the doors is a native who always lies and guarding the other door is a native who always tells the truth. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which is which. You may ask one of the natives for help in choosing the door. They both know which door they are guarding, so what single question could you ask?

The question to ask is:

If I ask the other fellow which door I should go through, what would he tell me?

Then whichever door he indicates, you take the other one.  Because:

If he is the liar, he would tell you the opposite to what his truthful mate would say, if he is the truthful one, he would tell you truthfully the words that the liar would speak.

QED

5. This brings back ancient memories.  It is something along the lines of asking one what the other would say but I can't remember the logic behind it.
