Want to train your brain to prepare for chess? Well, here's a question for you: 

"During a world fair a group of scientists were exhibiting their advances in genetic engineering. There were crossbreeds of various bulls, cows, and other domestic farm animals. Featured in the exhibit were several over-sized prize turkeys. One afternoon during the show, a woman walked up to the exhibit, shot the turkeys, and then ran out of the building. Although she was known to a number of people, nobody made an attempt to stop her. Why?"

Wow I have no idea in the slightest. Maybe because she was in need of food and people let her get the food out of pity

No, not quite. Change you line of thinking.

Because she was one of the scientists?

No, you’re taking it too seriously. It’s a trick question.

She was an employee?

The turkeys were killers

All wrong. I’ll give a hint, and if you can’t get it after that I’ll tell the answer. The word “shoot” is being used with Equivocation. Look up “equivocation” and see if it helps.

Because the woman took a picture of the turkeys?

“Scheming Suzie is afraid of monsters hiding under her bed. She usually runs from her bedroom door and leaps onto her bed so the monsters can’t get her. Even though Suzie’s bed is twelve feet from the door, she manages to switch off her light and jump into bed before her room is dark. Since Suzie doesn’t use any device to flip the switch, how is she able to accomplish this remarkable feat?”
