Tricky Questions
How many of these can you get? Especially the last 4 are challenging. They are great for bars.
Q1. 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?
Q2. 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?
Q3. A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, “that’s nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no type of equipment or air pockets!” The magician told the kid if he could do that, he’d give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?
Q4. 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 jug?
Q5. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?
Q6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
Q7. 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!
Q8. You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?
Q9. If you overtake the last person, then you are…?
Q10. (in your head!) Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?
Q11. Mary’s father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?
Now how many could you answer?
Scroll down for answers:-
ANSWERS:-
A1. The third. Lions that haven’t eaten in three years are dead.
A2. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
A3. The kid filled a glass of water and held it over his head for 10 minutes.
A4. Colour and Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in the barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.

A6. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
A7. The letter “e”, which is the most common letter in the English language, does not appear once in the long paragraph
A8. If you answer that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
A9. If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!
A10. Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. Don’t believe it? Check with your calculator!
A11. Nunu? NO! Of course not. The fifth daughter is Mary. Read the question again.

At what point do throw the towel in and call it a day, by this I’m talking about the music that I make. I have been making music now for over 11 years. I have won awards, I have had my music on TV, I have played gigs, I have even had an e-mail from somebody that played my music at a beach party. But at what point do you suddenly decide that you want to start selling music. In an ideal world I would like to be the same as everyone else sell all my music make my millions, live in a big house with a fast car and just live the life of luxury for a few years.
Is it wrong to care about what people think when it comes to buying music?
When I first started making music it was purely for fun until I got approached to do some music works in TV. Maybe it was this that gave me the bug to see more money in the music and make my millions from here. But who would actually buy the music? The way things are going at the moment with chart topping bands and the lack of sales it really seems pointless to even think that I’m going to make money when famous people are struggling.
After today I realised that I am wasting my time in the pursuit of happiness that comes with selling music. I set up a store on the site today in order to sell every track I’ve ever written on this site only, after a bit of market research I realise that in order to sell my music I would have to undercut the professionals meaning there is no way I could charge more than $.60 per song. After setting up the store I realised one major flaw in the plan and this is PayPal. For me PayPal is the only way I can accept money online. So I went ahead and set up my PayPal store, I even went to great lengths to test everything was working. But, this is one and a major problem and that is that whenever I sell a track for $.60 PayPal actually take $.38 as a processing fee.
After seeing this and playing about with my calculator I would much rather give away all of my music.
So from here on in and coming soon on this site all of the music I’ve ever made will be available for free download to whoever wants to download music, the only thing I am going to do is add a donation button on the download page so if you feel the need to donate some money as a way of saying thank you for my music means of doing this are there.
I hope and think I’ve made the right decision and I would like to go back to the same frame of mind I was in when I first started making music and that is … on making this music for fun why should I charge people to listen to it.
