Riddles

A dective is looking at a crime scene of a dead man holding a gun.
There is a cassett player nearbye, so he presses play.
He hears, 'I have nothing left to live for. I can't go on.'
The dective immeadietly says that it was a murder and not a suicide.

How did he know?

It was a woman's voice.

The detective was also a pathologist and determined that the gunshot wound
caused instant death and the victim could not have rewound the tape.

He could've rewound before pulling the trigger.

Was the sound of the gunshot on the tape?

oops. frogot that.

A man is in front of 2 doors.

In one door is a burning sun ready to smite anyone who walks thru.

The second has a fire-breathing dragon in it, also ready to smite.

If you were the man, which door would you choose?

neither

Do you want a hint?

My next guess would be to open both doors at the same time.
Don't ask me why, because I don't know. it's strictly an intuitive guess.

You can safely open the door with the burning sun.
You don't have to walk through

This may be a trick question, with the answer being there are no such things as fire breathing dragons.

Anywho, I had the same idea as you with the dragon door. But whether you wallk through a door or not you're still exposed to the sun or dragon. It should be more clear if the man walks through or not... and if you're exposed to harm before walking through, or only after walking in through the door.

edit: Looked at it again, and you can only be harmed after walking in through the door. There's the possibility of avoiding a dragon, but you wouldn't be able to avoid heat from the sun, so your chance of survival is much better with the dragon.

It's either that or both are 100% deadly, so choosing the sun makes more sense... instant death instead of moments of suffering.

However...
If you don't walk through, then you should choose the sun... because a dragon could walk through to your side.

The other alternative if you have to walk through a door is to wait until the burning sun sets and then walk through.

LoL

Yeah, or wait until the dragon lays down and goes to sleep.

Or wait a few billion years for the sun to burn out.
Or wait a few hundred years for the dragon to die.
