Talking Today's Brain Teaser - 05/03/2008 (138)

Must answer both questions correctly to win!

1. If you had only one match, on a freezing winter day, and you entered a room which contained a lamp, a kerosene heater, and a wood burning stove, which should you light first.
2. A fireman is running to get a net under a lady who looks like she might jump off the balcony of her 20 story apartment building. There is nothing below her except a 20 story fall. The fireman is still 100 yards away when she falls and can't nearly get there in time. The woman is not hurt more than a bruise. How is that possible?
