Five men are going through the street.

It starts raining.

Four of them start moving faster.

The fifth man makes no effort to run from rain, however, he stays dry.

The other four get wet anyway.

All of them arrive at their destination together.


How could this be possible?

The four are the tyres of a car , fifth is the extra tyre in the booth

tough question but let me attempt to solve it.
in the first place the sum total of 27+2 is wrong because it does not include the 25$ already in possession of the clark. so I think this 27 already included the 2$ in the possession of the bellhop so to add it to the 27$ is double counting it. but the 3$ the bellhop gave to the guests is not a part the 27$ so 27 + 3 = 30.
hope I tried.

Agreed, the math 9+9+9+2 or 27+2 is wrong.I think if we focus on the money actually on hands, we would realized that $1 is not missing. So the bellhop, clark and guests has $2$, $25 and $3 respectively hence $25+$3+$2=$30.

The four men are slaves carrying a noble man in a caravan. That's why they got there at the same time.

At the beginning of WW1, British soldiers wore brown cloth caps.

But many soldiers were suffering from head injuries.

The officials were worried about that so they issued an order to make helmets for their soldiers.


However, the number of soldiers with head injuries increased after the change was made.

Why do you think that happened?

Because of the helmet there were less people dying from head injuries, thereby increasing the number of the injured.

here is a possible explanation.

They weren't moving faster because of the rain.

their car broke down and the four passengers get down to push the car, while this was happening, it's starts raining. coincidentally, the car picks up speed and therefore the pushers, fortunately, the car starts and they hop in, not before they are drenched, though. then they are driven to their location. therefore,

> It is true they were all moving through the street.

> the fifth man makes no effort to run from the rain because he is seated, in the driver's seat.

> they move faster after the rain started, not because of the rain, but because the car was responding.

> He stays dry because the door is closed and no raindrop has access.

> they arrive at their destination together in the same car.

> We are only told that while the fifth man is NOT making an effort to run from the rain, he stays dry. this means that whether or not he eventually gets wet due to his wet passengers touching him, the explanations remains logically valid.

> nothing is said about their wetness at the destination, in fact, all five men could have arrived dry at the scene due to an air conditioner in the car. This also doesn't affect the validity of the explanation.

> in contrast, on foot with an umbrella implies that if the fifth man didn't run because he had an umbrella, he'd lag behind and they wouldn't arrive at their destination together . . . unless he did run, but not from the rain, in which case he would have gotten wet to to water splashing from his footfalls and his legs and/or several other water sources, he'd have to have a raincoat and rubber boots to stay dry . . . or perhaps he was in a coffin or some sort of carriage being driven by these men, but then it seems rather unlikely that undertakers would run in the rain, seems disrespectful, especially if they're friends or were paid for the job.
if he was alive in a carriage, then since they respect him so much to let him have that position, why would they risk a bumpy ride and discomfort him just to run from the rain?
Perfecto!

A man lives on a 10th floor of some building. Every morning he takes the elevator to the ground floor to go shopping for groceries.

When he comes back, he takes the elevator to the 7th floor and continues by stairs to reach his apartment on the 10th floor.

Why?


cos he is Short
His hand can only reach for lower numbers
And at maximum 7...
