A woman shoots her husband, then holds him under water for five minutes.
A little while later, they both go out for dinner and enjoy it very much.
How can this be?
A wife decides to shoot her husband. She does so, then holds him underwater for more than 5 minutes. Finally she hangs him. 10 minutes later they both go out to lunch. How is this possible?
"You will hang me."
Since they cannot hang him - that will make him true and they can only hang him for a lie, and they cannot shoot him - they would mean he told the truth but if they shoot him it's a lie - he is free to go.
There are two people in front of you holding guns.
One is your best friend and the other is an impostor who looks just like him and knows all that he knows.
You also have a gun and must shoot the impostor, if you get it wrong, the impostor will shoot you. If you get it right you and your friend are safe.
What is the one question you can ask that will reveal the impostor?
A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him underwater for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. A few minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful afternoon together. How can this be?
Mickey and Donald decided to take a break from shooting cartoons and played several golf matches against each other in a week.
They played for a pizza at each match, but no pizzas were purchased until the end of the week.
If at any time Mickey and Donald had the same number of wins, those pizzas were canceled. Mickey won four matches (but no pizzas), and Donald won three pizzas. How many rounds of golf were played?
Dr. Miller was staying with his cousin, Alfred, in Alfred’s lakeside cabin. They were setting up Alfred’s will. Since Dr. Miller was Alfred’s closest living relative, much of Alfred’s estate was being left to him.
One day, Alfred went to Dr. Miller very upset.
“Doctor,” he began, “I have just found out that an old enemy is out to get me. He is coming very soon. Where will I go? Where can I hide? If he finds me, he will surely kill me. I do not have time to leave this cabin and hide in the woods.”
Dr. Miller thought for a moment, and then grabbed a 5′ long bamboo fishing pole, with a diameter the size of a quarter.
“Alfred, follow me out to the lake. This lake is 4′ deep. If you lie on the bottom of the lake and breathe through this pole, your enemy will never find you. I will be in the bulrushes with a shotgun, and I will shoot him when he comes. I will swim down to find you when he is gone.”
Alfred thought that was a great idea and went down to the lake with the bamboo pole in his mouth.
A few hours later, a ranger passed by. He found Alfred’s body. Dr. Miller told the police of the circumstance, and that Alfred had probably panicked, and died.
Police arrested Dr. Miller on the charge of murdering Alfred. Why?
The pole was 5′ long, but only the size of a quarter. The first time he breathed in, he breathed oxygen. When he exhaled, the air could not travel 5′ before he breathed in again. He was just breathing what he exhaled. Before long, all he was breathing was carbon dioxide. He died of CO2 poisoning. Dr. Miller was the one who told him to use the pole. However, he was knowledgeable about the human body and knew breathing only carbon dioxide would result in Alfred’s death. His motive? The money in Alfred’s will.
