Once, there was a company who sold hot chocolate. They decided to set up a stall selling their hot chocolate in Saudi Arabia. They sent a man to set up a stall there. After a month, he came back to report to his boss how the hot chocolate had sold. His boss asked him, "About how much money did you make? How much did you sell?" The man said "I don't know why, but I didn't sell even a cup of hot chocolate! No one even took one of the free samples!" The boss said,"Why? didn't you put good advertisements up?" The man said,"Yes sir. I did not know how to write arabic, so I put up pictures. First I put a picture of a man in the snow, so cold and tired he could barely walk. The next picture showed the man drinking a can of our hot chocolate. The last picture showed him full of energy, nice and warm, because he had drank our hot chocolate. Here, I will show you the pictures."After looking at the pictures, his boss said,"These pictures are good! Why didn't anyone buy the hot chocolate!"
Do you know why no Arabs bought the hot chocolate? If you know why, post your answer in the comment box!

The "Precious" coin
Once a man found a old- looking coin. On one side it had a picture of a queen, and where the year of manufacture was usually written, it was written 20 BC. Yipee! the man cried. If it was that old, it was worth a lot of money. He took it to a museum to sell it. When the museum clerk took one look at the coin, he laughed and threw it in the dustbin. Why do you think he did this?

Where does he get his milk and eggs from?
A farmer every day had two eggs and a glass of milk for breakfast. The puzzling thing was, he did not get the eggs from hens, he did not buy them or trade for them, and he didn't steal them. And his milk also was not from his cows, and he did not buy it or trade for it or steal it. Where did he get his eggs and milk from?

How will he get across?
There once was a man. He had to carry a bunch of vegetables, a goat, and a tame tiger across a bridge. He could only carry one thing at a time and leave it at the other side and come back for the next item. How would he cross with his things?
Note: If the goat and tiger are left alone together, the tiger will eat the goat. If the goat is left alone with the vegetables, he will eat them.

Which Way Would You Like to Die?
A man had cheated another man into paying him money for no reason. The king decided that as a punishment the man would have to die. But, since he had not committed too big a sin, the king decided to give him a chance. He said to his minister "Let us give him the choice of which way he would like to die. If he is smart he will choose the right one and get away free.'' So, the king said to the man, " which way would you like to die? You can choose either of the rooms. In one room, there are all the people who want revenge on you. They will kill you the moment you get into the room. In the other room there are lions who have been starving for 400 years. They are very hungry, so they will gobble you up the moment you get into the room (The king had kept these rooms ready for criminals who had committed only small sins). Which room would you choose in his place?

Imagine You are...
Imagine you are walking through a dark corridor. It is absoluteley dark, and there is absolutely no electricity, and no way to get out. You keep walking forwards, and finally come to two doors, and each one leads into a different room. In one room, there are lions who will gobble you up as soon as you enter. In the other room, there is an electric chair which can electrocute you to death. Which room would you choose?
(please post your answers in the comment box. Include your answer and why you chose that answer. Example: I choose the lion room because at least my death will be of use to the lions, because they will get a meal. (This applies to all brainteasers)
