A man has been condemned to death. He is placed in a room with three exits.
The first is full of raging fires, the second has fierce assassins armed to the teeth and the third has lions that have not eaten for three years.
Which one should he choose?

though technically an assassin would not kill unless hired to do so or they had a specific motive, i'm thinking the one with the dead lions is gonna be the safest bet...
ReplyDeleteThe man should chose the third door where there are lions. Since these lions are said to have not eaten anything for 3 years, they are DeaD lions.
ReplyDeleteDeaD lions cant do any harm to the man! :)

You both figured it out, nice work! The lions would be dead after not eating for three years.
