pangea,
I have an alternate answer to the first one
"There was a man who lives on the 40th floor of a tower block. When he goes to work in the morning, he gets the lift all the way down to the ground floor.
When he returns home at the end of the day, he gets into the lift, but gets out on the 35th floor, and walks up the stairs to the 40th floor. Why?"
alternative answer: the elevator only goes up to the 35th floor....allthough he lives on the 40th floor...the last elevator stop is the 35th floor..so in the morning..he presumably walks down to the 35th floor and then hops on the elevator...reversing the excersize in the morning....
I have a certified 147 I cue.....

Ur forgetting the customer bought the £70 ring with a FAKE voucher, and also got £30 cash so has walked into the shop with nothing, and walked out with in effect £100. penn ji, you are forgetting that the shop owner had no cash (and his kids are hungry and wife left him) either....so he in effect, went to pastry man and got 100 DOLLARS (not pounds cuz the conversion would confuse the issue even more) for free....at the end of the story, the pastry man was reimbursed... the black con man....took a ring worth 70 and 30 real dollars in change...and the jewelry man was out a ring worth 70 and 30 real dollars.... damage=100 dollars (a benjamin as the e-gangsters cal it in the e-hood)LOLL

A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape? wait for it to get cloudy and then leave through the magnifying glass room??? Nope. He waits until the sun goes down...

The lift goes to the 40th floor, because the man gets the lift from the 40th floor every morning... nowhere does it specify which floor he gets the lift from...simply states that he lives on the 40th floor....and takes the lift down to the ground floor due to variety of reasons...such as lack of funds....building dept codes etc...the building might have been required to build the elevator only up to the 35th floor...furthermore... btw..dont ever walk into the maintainance elevator...I had an embarassing incident once..where i walked into the maintainance elevator of a hi rise by accident...and took an hour to find my way out of some weird place with alot of electrical panels and cleaning supplies and signs that said AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE.. waiting for the moment of bliss when RIA finds this thread
