Three More Riddles July 20, 2008

What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?

 

Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?

 

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly 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!

    And last but not least, that paragraph does not contain the letter ‘e’, even though that is the most commonly used letter in the English language!
    Thanks for playing, Guys!
