A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first room is full of raging fires. The second is room full of cobras. The third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
All are equally unsafe as the punishment was death and each room is fatal regardless of contents.
The below is a number puzzle. It should be read left to right, top to bottom.

Haha I like the way you think

The first time I saw this puzzle it drove me crazy and I didn't get it. Stupid dumb idiotic puzzle... it's your fault not mine!
How about an additional puzzle to go along with it. What's the next letter in this sequence?
o,t,t,f,f,s,s,e,?

I come in every color of the rainbow and can eat a hundred sheep and still be hungry. What am I?
A loom.

Correct.

The third one, because the lions are dead. Is that the right answer?
Yes, the correct answer is lion.

Yep.
I come in every color of the rainbow and can eat a hundred sheep and still be hungry. What am I?
A loom.
I was going to write sleep/dreams, but I like this answer better.
The solution
3 1 2 2 1 1
1 3 1 1 2 2 2 1
Line 1 is 'Two ones' (2 1)
Line 2 then becomes 'One two, and one one' (1 2 1 1)
Line 3 therefore is 'One one, one two and two ones' (1 1 1 2 2 1)
Line 4 is 'Three ones, two twos and one one' (3 1 2 2 1 1)
Line 5 is 'One three, one one, two twos and two ones' (1 3 1 1 2 2 1 1)
You're right this is a stupid puzzle. I might post something about cyphers next

Sounded good to me. I thought this may be the answer.

3 1 2 2 1 1

Line 1 is 'Two ones' (2 1)
Line 2 then becomes 'One two, and one one' (1 2 1 1)

Line 4 is 'Three ones, two twos and one one' (3 1 2 2 1 1)
Line 5 is 'One three, one one, two twos and two ones' (1 3 1 1 2 2 1 1)

No, it's not stupid, I was just stuck trying to solve it in an incorrect way.
It reminded me of the o,t,t,f,f,s,s,e,n,t puzzle because it mixes numbers and letters. ottffsse corresponds to the first letter in: one, two, three, four, five, etc.
A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."
The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the guy writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I'll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn't come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I'm told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won't be found
Yet still, each day I'll be around

He wrote the words "your exact weight" on a peice of paper.

.Right
He wrote the words: "Your exact weight"
He wrote: "The weight of the little boy"
He wrote: "100" and when the boy said "you were 5 lbs off" he added 95 and 105 explaining he never said how many guesses it may take.
He wrote a range of plausable numbers e.g. from 50 to 150.
He wrote: "Give me $50 or I'll kill you"
