A man woke up at 5:55 AM.
He opened the front door to get his morning paper and found a nickel next to it. He opened the paper to the sports section, and noticed that the fifth horse in the fifth race was named Nickel. He went to the track and put $555 on the fifth horse in the fifth race… … and watched him finish fifth.

| A group of four prisoners were held captive by the enemy and all of them were to be shot, one each day through the week. As natural disasters were common in this specific part of the world, the group of prisoners decided to make up a plan of distracting the guards. Before each prisoner would be shot, he would shout out a natural disaster, which would cause chaos and distract everyone to give enough time for that prisoner to escape. As three days passed, the first three prisoners escaped by shouting out their chosen natural disasters and running away, however the final prisoner shouted out a disaster and was shot dead on the spot.
What was the natural disaster, he shouted? |
