Hi guys. Your in the part 4. Let's test your IQ. I'll wait for your answers. 16. If it were two hours later, it would be half as long until midnight as it would be if it were an hour later. What time is it now? 17. A man lives in a room at the 10th floor of a buildin. Every morning, he uses the elevator down the base floor going to work outside the building. Going back at night, he was able to reach the 10th floor directly using the elevator if there are other people in the elevator or if it rained that day. Otherwise, he will leave the elevator on the 7th floor and continue using the stairs up to the 10th floor. Why is it so? 18. In a condo unit, a dead man is found with a gun in one of his hands and a recorder on the other, a gunshot through his head, no sign of violence. The detective in charge took the recorder and played it, "I'm tired of my life, I wanna die," *gunshot*. The detective asked the dead man's roommate, "is this his voice?" he replied, "yes". The detective said, " we must find the murderer". How did the detective know it was murder and not a suicide?

16. I think its 9pm (2 hours later would be 11pm & 1 hour to midnight - if it were an hour later, it would be 10pm which is twice as long -2hours- to midnight) 17. The man in the lift isn't tall enough to reach past the button for the 7th floor (If someone else is in the lift they could press it or, if it was raining, he'd use his umbrella... (if he had any sense, he'd carry his umbrella every day) 18. I'll come back to that one.... possibly, by answering, the roommate showed that it was HIS voice on the recorder.... but that would make him a liar and consequently the prime suspect.

Nice one. Very well said in #17. In #16, you may had point but lets wait for others to answer it.

well i'm doing this really quickly so i didn't get #17 now that i realize it and read 16 too fast so 9'oclock wouldn't work. the last one i'm guessing the message would of kept on playing. yeah i'm not putting much effort in this sorry.
