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?
Common Wrong Answers
“The first room (full of raging fires)”
The first room is dangerous because raging fires would likely cause immediate harm or death.
“The second room (full of assassins with loaded guns)”
The second room is lethal as the assassins are armed and would shoot him without hesitation.
“None of the rooms are safe”
While it may seem that all rooms pose a threat, the third room is actually safe because the lions would have perished after not eating for three years.
