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?


Too short to reach button 10?

A dwarf, maybe?

Cannot count beyond the number 7?

Two possible reasons I can come up with.
Re: Great Riddles That Will Make You Think Outside The Box by Nobody: 9:49am On Sep 16, 2017
Because he is short,on regular days he can only reach the 7th floor,but on rainy days he brings his umbrella and pushes the 10th floor button with the umbrella,or is someone else is on the elevator then they will pick the 10th floor button for

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?

The soldiers were taking off their helmets.

Historical fact.

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
The money was still with the bellhop.......we need to call EFCC to arrest d man.

because he is short and his hands ( fingers) can only get to Punch key number 7... that's why he stops at the 7th floor and take the stairs to the 10th floor

After $5 was returned,they would have paid $25 / $3 which is $8.3 plus the $3 plus the bellhop $2
they paid $8.3 and not $9......$8.3*3 equals $25 plus $3 plus $2 will give $30

Nothing happened to the remaining $1 because it is neither missing nor lost, they all got $1 each making it $3, + the $2 the bellhop took and + the $25 bill still total to $30, never mind the $9 * 3 statement, it was said to confuse us.

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 guy is dead and in a coffin
