There are tree stoves. A glass stove, a brick stove, and a wood stove. You only have a match. Which do you light up first?
Two cops walked into a room with no windows and found a dead man who obviously hung himself from the ceiling, though they couldn't figure out how. There was no chair or table beneath him to conclude that he might have used it to hang himself. They just found a puddle of water. How did the man hang himself?
Two fathers and two sons go fishing. Each of them catches one fish. So, why do they bring home only three fish?
I don't know the first riddle.
Second -- how about a block of ice?
Third -- Grandfather, father, son
Oh.
# 1 -- light the match first.
To determine which stove to light up first, you need to consider the materials and safety precautions.
1. The glass stove: It is important to note that glass stoves can crack or shatter when exposed to direct heat. Therefore, it is not safe to light a glass stove with a match, as the intense heat from the matchstick can cause the glass to break. Lighting a glass stove with a match is not advisable.
2. The brick stove: Brick stoves are typically built with non-flammable bricks and are designed to withstand high temperatures. These stoves are commonly used for cooking and heating. As long as the stove is not damaged or wet, it should be safe to light up using a match.
3. The wood stove: Wood stoves are specifically designed for burning wood as a fuel source. They are built with materials such as cast iron or steel and have proper ventilation for smoke exhaust. To light a wood stove, you can place some kindling, such as small pieces of dry wood or newspaper, along with the logs, and then use a match to ignite the kindling.
Based on this information, the safe option would be to light up the brick stove first. However, always ensure that the stove is in good working condition and follow the manufacturer's instructions for lighting the stove.
Now, let's move on to the other two questions:
1. The man who hung himself: In this scenario, the puddle of water is a crucial clue. The man used the water as an unconventional method to hang himself. He stood on the block of ice, put the noose around his neck, and then waited for the ice to melt. As the ice melted, he was suspended in the air, leading to his apparent hanging.
2. Three fish instead of four: The answer lies in the relationship between the two fathers and two sons. In this scenario, there are actually only three people: a grandfather (father), a father (son), and a son. So, when the two fathers and two sons went fishing, there were three individuals in total. Therefore, they caught three fish, one for each of them.
