There is a man that works and lives in the same building. He lives on the 10th floor and everyday he goes to the 1st floor for work. And then when takes the elevator to go home he always stop at the 7th floor and walks the rest of the way up.

Why does he do that?

The highest floor the elevator can reach is the 7th floor thus he has to walk/climb the steps to the 10th floor to get home.

Wrong ..try again

Probably, the man is a dwarf and can only reach the botton for seventh floor LOL.

Because that is the floor he lives on 7 floors from were he works that is the 10th floor

I don't understand u pls rephrase.

Second answer : The man is short and can not reach the button for the top floor (10th floor).

It's a brain teaser and my first answer is also correct. There's not always one answer to questions/brain teasers like this. Infact,in my second answer the dude can actually complement his height deficiencies by going to the elevator always with a stick or any other long object to push on the 10th floor button which makes my first answer more valid in respect to the question/riddle/brain teaser!

Mister, I've already answered the riddle and given you logical reasons in my second post if you feel it's wrong drop the right answer and let's see if it's any different.

Check the thread again bro. I answered the question before u.

Yeah, I know you said he is a dwarf! That is why I said 'complement his height deficiencies with a stick' if he can do that then he shouldn't get out of the elevator at the 7th floor in the first place, that is my point.
All other possibilities have not been exhausted so we can't just assume that he is short or a dwarf and can't reach the button so therefore he must walk the way up when he can improvise and save himself the stress.
I know you have checked the internet for the answer(which says he is short/dwarf) but have you tried thinking outside the box.
