RIDDLES
ASUNCION, MAY ANN JOYCE B. LOGIC (4:00-5:00PM)
OPENING PRAYER Loving heavenly Father we come to you this hour asking for your blessing and help as we are gathered together. We pray for guidance in the matters at hand and ask that you would clearly show us how to conduct our work with a spirit of joy and enthusiasm. Give us the desire to find ways to excel in our work. Help us to work together and encourage each other to excellence. We ask that we would challenge each other to reach higher and farther to be the best we can be. We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Riddles & Puzzles
1. Lighter than feather and softer than silk, yet the strongest man in the world cannot hold me for more than a few minutes! What am I?
2. If you throw me from the window, I will leave a grieving wife. Bring me back, but in the door, and you’ll see someone giving life! What am I?
3. 4 criminals are caught and are to be punished. The Judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed.
The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the fourth man from the other three.
So to summarise:
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what colour hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the colour of the hat that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.
They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.
Who is the first person to shout out and why?
CLOSING PRAYER Heavenly Father as we come to the end of our time together us thank you for what has been accomplished here today. May the matters discussed serve as a catalyst to move us
