A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms.
The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with
loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven\'t eaten in 3 years.
Which room is safest for him?

The third room. Lions that haven\'t eaten in three years are dead. That
was easy, right?!

The lions,
because the lions are probably dead by now so that room is the safest!

i think the assasins, because if he's a murder, they would be on his side

He was condemned to death.
Doesn't that mean he was sentenced to death?
i.e. he's going to die anyway?

ya, the lions must be dead but what about the assassins? didn't they kill each other

Lions, they would all be dead after 3 years. First they would've eaten/killed each other. Then the survivor would of died in the end anyway.

Yeah but then again, he would have probably died of the smell of the rotten lions..

If you are condemned to die then death is certain. Either by fire, gunfire or "the lion room". The problem with the 3rd choice is since the lions are dead you will then die of thirst sometime later on or about day 5-7. I think I would take the gunfire.

the fire would have obviously killed him, the assasins would have shot him down but the lions did not eat for 3 years so that
room is safe

Choose anything, he will die in the end because he was sentenced to death anyway
