This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!
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 to go into?

A guy bet his neighbor $100 that his dog could jump higher than a house. Thinking this was not possible, the neibor took the bet and lost. Why did he lose the bet?
When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?
With pointed fangs it sits and waits,
With piercing force it doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might.
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?

You're in a room in the dark, you have a single match. In the room there is a candle, a kerosene heater, and a lantern. Which do you light first?
You're in a room with four windows. All of the windows face south. A bear walks by one of the windows. What colour is the bear?
There are 8 apples. Take away 2 apples. How many apples do you have?
