You've been sentenced to death in an obscure foreign country which has a strange law. Before the sentence is carried out, two papers -- one with "LIFE" written on it and one with "DEATH" written on it -- are folded up and placed in a hat. You are permitted to pick out one of the papers (without looking), and if you choose the one with "LIFE" written on it, you are set free. Otherwise, the death sentence is carried out. On this occasion, a mean-spirited acquaintenance of yours, bent on your demise, has substituted the paper with "LIFE" written on it with another one with "DEATH" written on it. This person gleefully informs you of what he has done and that you are doomed to die. You are not permitted to speak to anyone about this misdeed, nor will you have a chance to switch the papers or the hat yourself in time. How will you avoid certain death?

When you select a piece of the paper quickly pop it in your mouth and swallow it. The remaining paper will have DEATH written on it so you must have removed the LIFE one.
Then go and visit your ex-aquaintance! SURPRISE!!!

10 minutes???

Correct!

I was hoping for the rest of the night off! :)


Three surgeons and a clumsy cook go camping in the remote wilderness. The clumsy cook stumbles over the campfire as he is serving the surgeons, injuring himself and dumping hot stew on the hands of the surgeons. The cook's injuries need surgical treatment. The surgeons' injuries are minor but open. It turns out they brought the equipment necessary for the cook's surgery with them, and they can use the campfire to sterilize the tools. But there are only two rubber gloves. Because of the different surgeons' skills, all three of the surgeons are needed to operate on the cook, in sequence. How can this be done without any of them being exposed to the blood of any of the others?

1 surgeon wears a glove on his right hand & only uses that hand, another surgeon wears a glove on his left hand & only uses that hand & the third surgeon has no need for gloves as operating hands of other surgeons other are covered.

close so very close...but ...no..:o

If they operate in sequence then the first 1 to operate wears no gloves & the other 2 surgeons wear 1 glove each.

the first surgeon puts both gloves on one hand and does what needs to be done
the second surgroun puts on the outer glove normally and does what needs to be done
the third surgeon puts on the first surgeons inner glove inside out and then puts on the second surgeons glove over the inside out glove.

yes, correct again!

A cabin, locked from the inside, is perched on the side of a mountain. It is forced open, and thirty people are found dead inside. They had plenty of food and water.
