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?


Lalasticlala, Mynd44
Because the elevator only reaches the 7th floor......

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?
they felt it was too heavy or out of style and refused wearing any

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 fifth man is in a coffin

How could this be possible?
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?

Why do you think that happened?
This is very much like a Paragraph Argument. So, to answer in a PA way....

The head injuries didn't have anything to do with whether or not they had headcovers on. Some other factor - which, by the way, could have been anything ranging from within the soldiers themselves to the outside battlefield environment - played a role in the frequency of the injury. This factor was fueled by the switch from caps to helmets. It could have been anything other than the cap, so, pretty much anything reasonable would stand.

Another explanation with the assumption that the cap was everything with the injuries...

At time the soldiers used the brown cloth caps, the caps weren't very protective, so there were little or no "injuries" to the head, there were simply "deaths" resulting from headshots. Then after the switch to a more protective cover, there were less deaths (and more injuries) as the soldiers sustained head injuries more than they died from headshots.

Lalasticlala, Mynd44

He most likely has a friend or relative whom he goes to visit on the 7th floor, or who may have asked him to purchase something for him/her.

9. Three guests check into a hotel room.

The clerk says the bill is $30, so each guest pays $10.

Later the clerk realizes the bill should only be $25.

To rectify this, he gives the bellhop $5 to return to the guests.

On the way to the room, the bellhop realizes that he cannot divide the money equally.

As the guests didn't know the total of the revised bill, the bellhop decides to just give each guest $1 and keep$2 for himself.

Each guest got $1 back: so now each guest only paid$9; bringing the total paid to $27.

The bellhop has $2.

And $27 + $2= $29 so, if the guests originally handed over $30,

what happened to the remaining $1?

Lalasticlala, Mynd44
$25÷3=8 remainder $1........ That is where ur missing dollar is..... so, one of the men paid a dollar more than others.

He gave it to the guest

$25+$1+$1+$1(a dollar for each guest)+$2=$30
