Ponder, escape, win – Fun Riddle !

puzzleYou’re in a forest. There are 4 exits (North, South, East and West). In the north there is a black hole waiting to swallow you up. In the west there is a hole in the ground too big for you to cross even by rope. In the south there are 3 hungry lions that haven’t eaten for 3 months that are waiting to eat you. In the east there is a giant stone slab that is too high to climb and it takes up the whole space. Which way do you go to escape?

    It is south.

    lions starved to death.

    I would choose south because lions cannot live without eating anything for three months.

  3. Samra April 4, 2014 at 3:25 PM #

    The South. If the lions haven’t eaten in 3 months, they’re dead.

    And one more question.. How did I get there if all the four ways are having such dangers and adventures? 😛

    What if two lions died and the third lion was surviving on the meat of other two? 😛

    South is the way as the lions might be dead or too weak as they did not eat for 3 months

    How did u enter the forest then – if there are no exits. May be u dont have to go out as the forest is your abode.

    I know lions are dead or too weak but why we don’t try north instead, what life can be without adventure 🙂

    exit via south as the lions dint eat for 3 months,they should be dead

  13. Yousuf Kamal March 27, 2014 at 11:26 PM #

    South. Lions should either be dead or so weak they could not eat me.

  14. noushi March 27, 2014 at 6:30 PM #

    south because lions already dead…

  15. muhammadakbarmy March 27, 2014 at 5:59 PM #

    South

  16. Muhammad Akbar March 27, 2014 at 5:51 PM #

    Lions have not eaten for three months so they are dead. I choose to go south.

  17. Ahmed Hamza March 27, 2014 at 3:45 PM #

    The lions are surely dead as they have not eaten in three months so south is the way out

  18. Najeeb Khan March 27, 2014 at 3:40 PM #

    Lions are dead or weak 3 months are very long time without eating any thing and still live.

  19. Nasir March 27, 2014 at 3:31 PM #

    As lions are dead they have not eaten for last 3 months so south way is the safe way

  20. Ahmad Al-Mutairi March 27, 2014 at 3:07 PM #

    The lions have not eaten for 3 months I.E they are dead …
    so, the safest way is south.

  21. Jalil A. Khan March 27, 2014 at 1:43 PM #

    Lions been dead, because they didnt take food since 3 months, South way is the safe way

  22. Al-Mughrabi March 27, 2014 at 1:30 PM #

    Go South since the lions should be dead by now.

    Just for a jock, if the North has a black hole, it would most likely swallow the whole of the earth!!

  23. leoalam March 27, 2014 at 1:29 PM #

    I’ll follow the earlier comments / remarks….lol

  24. khaled mohamed March 27, 2014 at 1:00 PM #
