Someone posts a puzzle (of any type, but preferably one that is actually solvable by the general public) and everyone tries to solve it. Whoever solves it can post a new one or someone else can post one.

To make things easy, I'll start:


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?
 
If Sarah has three and a half green apples and is traveling on a train at 80kph for two hours, how many stops will the train have made before she had to go pee? :hypno:
 
Yes, that one was easy, and so might these be:




When I am young, I go on four legs, then I go on two legs, then I go on three legs, and then I die.



Large as a mountain, small as a pea,
Endlessly swimming in a waterless sea.





AND A QUESTION:
Why is a Raven like a writing desk?
 
A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she
did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him right there but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

Could it be that her dream guy was married to his sister?

In this word pyramid you have to take the letters from the first line and put them around the letter on the second line to form a new word. Once you have the next word, do the same with the next line.
