1.Acting on an
anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer.
They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he
is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a
mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication
of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got
their man?
Ans-The fireman is the
only man in the room. The rest of the poker players are women.
2. A man lives in the penthouse of an apartment
building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the
building. Upon his return, however, he can only travel halfway up in the lift
and has to walk the rest of the way - unless it's raining. What is the
explanation for this?
Ans-The man is a dwarf. He can't reach the upper
elevator buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. He can also push
them with his umbrella.
