Riddles and Optical Illusions

[Amazing Matheja]

Three women were transformed into flowers which grew in the field, but one of them was allowed to be in her own home at night. Then once when day was drawing near, and she was forced to go back to her companions in the field and become a flower again, she said to her husband, if you will come this afternoon and gather me, I shall be set free and henceforth stay with you, but if not, and you pick the wrong flower, i shall die. And he did so. Now the question is, how did her husband know her, for the flowers were exactly alike, and without any difference.

It's not something dirty is it...?

dirty mind

Hmm, yeah it seems like there is a piece of information missing...

Two days ago, Adam was 10 years old. Next year, he'll turn 13.
How can this be?

OK, simple logic says that:
His birthday is December 31. Today is January 1st. So 2 days ago he was 10, now he is 11. He'll be 12 at the end of this year, and the following year will turn 13.

That all makes sense, yeah?

Damn i knew this as my friends Mum is the same

He can tell as she wasnt there over night so there was no dew

[SlicerITST]

A general, accused of high treason, is sentenced to death by the court-martial. He is allowed to make a final statement, after which he will be shot if the statement is false or will be hung if the statement is true. The general makes his final statement and is released.

What could he have said?

[Sherlock 117]

He said "I always tell lies". They couldn't figure out if he was telling the truth or not so they had to let him go.

[Sherlock 117]

Well okay, along the same lines and probably the correct answer, he said "I will be shot". It turns into a paradox and they can't do anything to him (or more graphically their heads blew up while trying to figure out what to do). Stupid court-marshal should learn some math...

Now I get to repost my riddle, which nobody tried to answer:

The answer to this one is kind of wierd...if you've heard it before please don't say the answer right away.

You are in a room which is made entirely of brick. The floor is made of brick, the ceiling is made of brick, and there are no doors or windows. All that is in the room is a mirror and a table. How do you escape?

(don't ask me how you got into such a room)

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

you said we got it but what was the right answer ?

[Sherlock 117]

Sorry, she is a photographer. She took a picture of him, developed it, and hung it up to dry.

Thats correct yes. "I will be shot." If this statement was true, he would have been hung and thus not be shot. But then his statement would be false, which implies that he should be shot, making the statement true again, etc...

Ive heard your riddle before so i wont answer. But i would never find the answer of this one if i hadnt heard it before.

[VillaJ100]

yeah thats right. as she was indoors all night her flower gathered no dew so her husband knew her. Thats ones a old Grimm's fairy tale.
