2. You're escaping a labyrinth, and there are three doors in front of you.

The door on the left leads to a raging inferno.

The door in the center leads to a deadly assassin. The door on the right leads to a lion that hasn't eaten in three

months. Which door do you choose?

The lion would be dead after not eating for three months.

An old man dies, leaving behind two sons. In his will, he orders his sons to race with their horses, and the one with

the slower horse will receive his inheritance. The two sons race, but since they're both holding their horses back, they

go to a wise man and ask him what they should do. After that, the brothers race again — this time at full speed. What

did the wise man tell them?

After they switch horses, whoever wins the race will get the inheritance because they still technically own the losing (i.e., slower)
horse.

5. Turn me on my side and I am everything. Cut me in half and I am nothing. What am I?

Explanation: On its side, the number 8 looks like an infinity symbol. Cut in half, the number 8 becomes two zeros.

A farmer needs to take a fox, a chicken, and a sack of grain across a river. The only way across the river is by a small

boat, which can only hold the farmer and one of the three items. Left unsupervised, the chicken will eat the grain, and

the fox will eat the chicken. However, the fox won't try to eat the grain, and neither the fox nor the chicken will wander

off. How does the farmer get everything across the river?

The farmer must follow these steps.

1. Take the chicken across the river.

2. Come back with an empty boat.

3. Take the grain across the river.

4. Bring the chicken back.

5. Take the fox across the river.

6. Come back with an empty boat.

7. Take the chicken across the river.
