Another little quiz – Help the hobo find his way out.

This is another Brain teaser. I will provide you with some vague clues, and you have to use you noodle to figure it out. Feel free to voice your opinion in the comment box. Remember there are no stupid answers just stupid people.  I work with them everyday.

A hobo was caught stealing food by four Roman Guards.  They beat him and drug him away. When the hobo awoke he was in a dark cell with 3 doors. He peeked in the first door and saw a room of fire.  The walls the floor even the roof filled with flames and smoke. He peeked in the second door and saw a pack of lions that haven’t eaten in two years.  The hobo quickly closed the door and headed for door number three.  Crossing his fingers he gave a little peek.  Looking in he saw six Roman Guards in full armor and swords.   He slammed the door and started to think.  What door should the hobo take to free himself and why?

    If it were me, I would take the guards. I think I could talk them out of killing me.

    I think the room of fire after it burned out. Surely there would be a hole somewhere. This is neat!!

    the room that is on fire is just like the “Devil’s oven”. Whats the “DEVIL’S OVEN?” A fire set in Ohio in 1884 because some guy wanted a raise and its been burning ever since.

    I guess,The roman guards cause they might release me if I allow them to beat me again.
    puzzling but enjoyed it.

    The room with the lions – if they haven\’t eaten in two years – they are dead!

  • DA Cournean on Apr 22, 2009

    I do believe Moss figured this one out!

    Nice brain teaser. I’d open the lion’s door and the guard’s door at the same time and let them duke it out while I escape! (hehe)

    Very well written piece..you have honestly made an effort…

    Nice job. I myself tend to think that the room with the pack of lions, as if you really think about it, if they had not eaten in two years, they should be dead by now? :)
