Having trouble getting to sleep at night? Answer these questions, one each night, to the satisfaction of your own brain’s thought processes. No cheating with the internet.
First night: Why is there a ‘p’ in the word receipt? There is no ‘p’ in deceit or in conceit.
Second night: Name three hits by Ricky Nelson.
Third night: What is the name of your second grade teacher? If that’s too quick, Who followed William McKinley as President?
Fourth night: A woman stands on the edge of a wide river. Her dog is on the other shore. She calls the dog to her. Strangely, when the dog comes to her side, it is completely dry. How could this happen? No bridges, boats or assistance – just the river.
Fifth night: You are a prisoner in a room with 2 doors and 2 guards. One of the doors will guide you to freedom and behind the other is a hangman–you don’t know which is which, but the guards do know.
One of the guards always tells the truth and the other always lies. You don’t know which one is the truth-teller or the liar either. However both guards know each other.
You have to choose and open one of these doors, but you can only ask a single question to one of the guards.
What do you ask to find the door leading to freedom?
Sixth night: Using only the number eight (8) add eights together so that they equal 1,000.
Seventh night: Lying in bed, give each of your toes a unique name. Then recite them, all ten, three times.
Well, good morning! Did you sleep well?
