These are great. Get your thinking cap on! Try these to loosen up the old brain cells. 1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building.Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!Why is it so??? 2.A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man? 3.A man went to a party and drank some of the punch.He then left early.Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die? 4.A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so? 5.A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man.The man says 'Thank you' and walks out. There can be many possible answers but I hope that u will like my answers.The solution will be posted after some time.

Problem 1 - The man is too short to reach correct button for his floor; if it is a rainy day he would have a brolly,with which he could reach the button!

The reason Man in problem 1 cannot use the correct button to go UP in Lift/Elevator is because he is too short to reach the button on the panel!!
