Or Aardwolf

Zi-Hi-Wang was the president of Amalgumated Gadgets. Every morning he'd take his limo to the company building in downtown Manhatten.  Zi-Hi would take the executive lift to the 10th floor and then run up the next 12 floors to get to his office. Every night he would take the lift to the ground floor get into his limo and go home.
Zi-Hi was an exceptionally fit man and had no need of the extra exercise so given that the lift was in perfect working order why did he do that?

[Lightspeed]

He's too small to reach the button.

[karajorma]

Correct

Someone else post a riddle then

[karajorma]

Since no one wanted to here's one I heard a while back.

In front of you are three switches. The switches control 3 lights in the room next door. You can not see into the room next door at all. You are only allowed to enter the room once and once you do so you must identify which switch goes with which light. How do you do this?

[Stealth]

that's too hard

try this:


I never was, am always to be,
No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

Thats easy.

Turn on the first switch. Wait ten minutes. Turn on the second switch.

Go to the other room.

Theres two bulbs that are on: a warm light bulb (first switch) and a cool one (second). The one that is off is the third switch.

[Stealth]

dammit, you guys are too good!

what if you can't reach the lightbulbs?

[Blaise Russel]

Jump.

[karajorma]

Flick the switch on and off till the filament breaks. Have VERY good eyesight

[Stealth]

what if the lightbulb is like 20 feet high?  you can't jump that high.

and you don't have a ladder.

[karajorma]

Tomorrow

I like that one

[karajorma]

Okay. I return with a couple of easy ones.

What gets bigger the more you take from it?

I am unwanted. The man who buys me never uses me. The man who uses me never sees me. What am I?

[Fineus]

Is the second one life insurance?

[karajorma]

Close but no cigar

[Ghostavo]

Is the first one a loan?

[karajorma]

An overdraft Or simply a hole were the answers I had but close enough

[Stealth]

You use a knife to slice my head,
and weep beside me when I am dead.


Use me well and I am everybody,
but scratch my back and I am nobody.
