A puzzle

Here is a brain teaser for you and your students.

A man is condemned to death. The judge is a gambler and decides to give him a chance. He offers him three choices: which will give the man the best chance of survival?

1) He can go into a room with three venomous snakes.

2) He can go into a room with three lions that haven �t eaten for three years.

3) He can go into a room with three masked gunmen who have instructions to keep shooting.

Which option, dear friends, would you advise?

ANSWERS PLEASE!!!

(We are on to a losing battle, but we have to keep trying! Hopefully Victor will sort this soon.)

I would recommend the 2nd option. The 3 lions must be dead; they can �t have survived not eating any food for three years.

edit: oops-Mohamed and I were typing at the same time.

will choose the lions as three lions that haven �t eaten any thing for three years must be

dead.
