Spirited Sons - A Little Challenge For You

Welcome to My Blog!

Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

A Little Challenge For You

Posted in Tickling the Funny Bone

After a very long day today, I came home to check e-mail and call it a day. I found an interesting little mental challenge sent to me by my sister (who apparently got 3 out of 5 correct). I won't say how I did, but I'm blaming the results on being a little tired. Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket! :'P

Me being the opportunist that I am when it comes to blog entries, I thought I would share this with you and see how you all do. I'll post the answers in a comment at some point after you have guessed. Should be interesting. ;')

Now, don't you all peek at other people's answers now. You hear? *lol*

5 QUESTIONS

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. Try to do so without any coaching!

All the best to you as you puzzle over it until I return! *Bwahahahahahahahahaha*

What kind of award should we give to the person who gets all five of them right??? Hmmm.

I got the first one: the lions, because they'd be dead, having not eaten in 3 years. However, the others I am stumped on. It must just be one of those days. *sigh*

Got the first one - the lions would be dead. The three consecutive days are "yesterday, today, and tomorrow" and the paragraph in #5 is unusual in that it does not contain the letter E. I'm stumped on the color one. I've got part of the husband and wife one but not all of it. I'll be back later to find out the answers!

Blessings,
Kym
